Texas Charter School Asked Students to List 'Positive Aspects' of Slavery
An enraged father was in disbelief when he saw his eighth grader's homework assignment. The student was given a paper with two columns to fill out by listing the "positive aspects" and the "negative aspects" of life as a slave.
The worksheet was titled: "The Life of Slaves: A Balanced View."
"What the hell is this revisionist history lesson trying to achieve here?!?" asked father Roberto Livar in a furious Facebook post.
