The student's mother posted a picture sharing the questions asked in the assignment. Olivia Gray wrote in the post that this is an assignment for a high school class in Oklahoma. What is the justification for asking such questions in the subject of world history. Such questions are full of madness and nonsense.
What was the reaction on social media?
After this post on Facebook, angry comments also came in the comment section. Most of the users complained that what is the need for such questions in the assignments of school children, where the existence of Satan is questioned. One user described this assignment as imposing one's opinion on religious beliefs. Another user questioned why it is necessary to include topics like Satan and God in the school curriculum.
However, some believed that these basic questions were important in a subject like world history. They argued that such questions could develop students' reasoning power, which would enable them to make decisions about right and wrong in the future.
The school clarified after the post went viral
Skiatook Public Schools provides clarification on world history assignment. “When the administration reviewed the assignment, it concluded that asking children such questions was not in keeping with our vision for education. We will continue to meet academic standards,” he said.
