A QUIZBENNINGTON, Vt. --The school superintendent whose district includes Mount Anthony Union High School has labeled "inappropriate" and "irresponsible" an English teacher's use of liberal statements in a vocabulary quiz. ------------- UD was able to get hold of Chenkin’s entire quiz. It’s fascinating. It incorporates a number of even more hyperbolic statements America’s high school, community college, and college teachers have made of late. The original authors of Questions 3 through 5, for instance, are Ward Churchill, Nicholas De Genova, and John Daly. See if you can match author and sentence! (3.) “Real freedom will come when American soldiers in Iraq turn their guns on their (superiors, fascist death merchants) and fight for just causes and for people’s needs.” (4.) “The only true heroes are those who find ways that help defeat the U.S. (military, totalitarian murder machine). I wish for a million Mogadishus." (5.) “The (people, imperialist pigs) in the World Trade Center were little Eichmanns.” |
