“The teacher deeply regrets this mistake, and any suggestion to malign the presidency or make any comparison in this egregious way,” Melissa Salmanowitz, spokeswoman for D.C. schools, said in a statement.
Salmanowitz also said in the teacher admits “to extremely poor judgment and short-sightedness and will apologize to students.”
D.C. school officials were alerted about the homework assignment Wednesday, Salmanowitz said.
According to the statement, the District of Columbia Public Schools provides teachers with “an English-Language Arts curriculum that outlines the topics, texts and standards to be taught within instructional units, while allowing teachers the flexibility to decide the best approach and day-to-day lessons for their students.”
“No DCPS curriculum materials suggest in any way that teachers should compare the texts in this manner or compare Hitler to any other individual,” she said in the statement.
McKinley Middle School teacher asks students to compare Hitler, Bush - The Washington Post
A teacher in Mckinley Middle School assigned a paper to compare and contrast Adolf Hitler with former President George W. Bush, which has led to a massive outburst from enraged parents.
Do you have a problem with this assignment being given to students? Would you want your kids in this teacher's class? Who do you think is the guilty party here, the teacher, the School Board, or even the parents for making a bid deal out of this?

Dont see the problem at all. Hell it would be a brilliant paper to write because of the many contrasts and differences and the few similarities. Has nothing to do with politics in fact, but is a great way of promoting objectivity in students and of course the most important thing... asking questions and finding answers. This sounds more like a typical right wing PC bull**** complaint that you are not allowed to question the motives, or actions of Republicans... which is actually very much like what Hitler did.
It doesn't seem like that big of a deal.Do you have a problem with this assignment being given to students? Would you want your kids in this teacher's class? Who do you think is the guilty party here, the teacher, the School Board, or even the parents for making a bid deal out of this?

What is wrong in telling how better Bush is from Hitler? It is a huge chasm between them!
Such an obvious bait post is obvious....

Poor judgment by the teacher. Reprimand her and move on. DC public schools have enough problems without worrying about a mistake a teacher made with a Venn diagram. It was in poor taste I'll admit though
The assignment was to "compare and contrast Bush and Hitler".
If contrasts could not be found...then Bush has big image problem with middle school students.
The teacher in question is merely the bringer of that bad news for pro Bush enthusiasts.
Why didn't he pick the current President with which to compare to Hitler instead of going into the past for some "random" President?
