This entire story has tripped some major BS warning signs.
"The only site that has reported this is FoxNews.com"

Which is one our many complaints about the LSM. They DON"T report on things like this.

Check to see how many stories the LSM had on Gruber, if you know who he is.

It isn't always WHAT they report but, what the DON'T report.

When was the last time you saw a story from the LSM on how a crime was averted, or someone saved their or family members life with the use of a gun?

You will be looking for a LOOONG time.

Or that it might be bogus because not even local news where this story comes from reported it, and the school that it says released a press release has no proof of this happening and no press release about it anywhere.

Maybe it is time for you to start questioning your news source when there is no proof of a news story happening anywhere else.

Every time students act up in class, fail a test or otherwise do something wrong they can humiliate their schools and teachers by linking it to 'freedom' and going to Fox News.

This is why no one should ever be a teacher. The pay is low, degradation and humiliation are daily occurrences, and there is a real danger of Fox News and their modern McCarthyism ruining your entire life.
Right! Let's IGNORE the rest of the media who WON"T do stories where some idiot teacher of other school official does something really stupid, like suspending a kid for pointing his finger at another kid.

Or suspending a high school girl for having an ordinary kitchen knife in her car after moving into a new house the previos week end.

The stories are endless and the LACK of reporting the stories is to protect the public from forming negative opinions on the public school teachers and other school officials.

I bet you can find local news stories for any of those that actually happened.

Wisconsin high school under fire for assignment on political ideology

I identified the high school last night for the disbelievers. I didn't post links because I figured everyone could use Google. But some people just scream "Fox News!!!" and act like fools.

We've seen these stories proven true time and time again, and yet people act like it's completely not possible each time. These same posters, of course, fall for every race and gay hoax because if Huff Po said it happened, then it's airtight.

Thank you for that, I wasn't able to find any local news sources when I wrote that. But it is a good response from the school.

As for when you identified the high school last night, I still was unable to find anything from that high school about this so called press release that Fox News had claimed they did. I do question if the teacher actually graded this quiz when it was told that this was one where there was no right or wrong answers. It is very easy for a parent to mark on a paper and run to social media with their upsetting news.

So since it's it's (reportedly+ online and it is not graded you still don't see, or are ignoring, what is wrong about it?
