Middle School Lesson Promotes Anti-Trump, Chinese Propaganda
Anti-Trump School Assignment: “Republicans are using misleading names for the coronavirus that hurt Asian Americans.”

A West Virginia middle school sent students an online lesson that accused Republicans of promoting discrimination against Asian-Americans by referring to the coronavirus as a “Chinese virus.”
Stephanie Laney, the parent of an eighth grader at Hurricane Middle School, sent me a copy of the assignment her daughter received in English class. Here’s a link to the assignment.

Like many students around the country, Stephanie’s daughter is currently attending classes online due to the coronavirus.
The lesson was created by newsela, an education-based organization that provides classroom content. More
If the 8th grader’s teacher had given this lesson in the classroom, the parent would probably never have known about it.
