A tenth-grade teacher at Albany High School in New York gave students the following assignment in "persuasive" writing:

"You need to pretend that I am a member of the goverent in Nazi Germany and you are being challenged to convince me that Jews are evil...You do mot have a choice in your position: you must argue that Jews are evil..."

The teacher is being protected by school officials who refuse to identify him or her by name. The teacher should be fired and should be idenified by name and face. The latter will surely occur through media leaks. The school officials who protected the teacher by failing to name him or her should be fired.
