QuoteStudents at an Ohio middle school were asked to decide who they would leave behind if the world was about to end using age, religion and other descriptions are markers for their decisions sparked widespread uproar last week.
The assignment "Whom to Leave Behind" asked students at Roberts Middle School in Cuyahoga Falls to choose eight out of 12 people to put into a space ship and take to a different planet because the world was ending, according to the Cleveland Plain-Dealer.
Choices included a homosexual pro athlete, a militant African-American medical student and a female movie star who was a victim of sexual assault.
Parents of some of the students called the assignment insensitive.
"What does her being Muslim have to do with it?" Bernadette Hartman, referencing another description, told WKYC-TV. "What does being female have to do with it?"
Hartman added the assignment made her son uncomfortable.
"This paper divides. It doesn't pull anybody together," she said.
And this is Middle School. What ever happy to Reading, Writing, Arithmetic and History?
