This story is crazy. This little girl (err, young woman) did the assignment to the letter, exhibited an amazing understanding of her topic, drew relevant conclusions, was praised by the society for the man upon which her essay was based... What did she get for her effort? Blacklisted from school http://www.fdfny.org/blog/2012/02/2...ecuted-by-the-rochester-city-school-district/
wow...not really surprised though..this is becoming a typical scene at ps. The simply remove whatever goes against their own views, yet contradict themselves when they tell the children that they are there to become independent adults...
Ummm...whatever happened to free speech? She wrote nothing that was vulgar or coarse in any way. She wrote her opinion of an autobiography. You don't have to agree with her conclusions. Jeez.
Ok I live right outside of Rochester. This does not really surprise me. The schools are really bad. They go through Superintendents like anything. The district also does not like homeschoolers. If this family does choose to hs I hope they join a local support group.
