Alex Nester of the Washington Free Beacon documents a disturbing incident from a public school classroom in the Tar Heel State.
A North Carolina teacher s lesson on slavery included a discussion question that downplayed the Holocaust and likened 19th-century Americans to Nazis.
Ardrey Kell High School English teacher Lisa Patrizio asked her 11th-grade students to describe a fictional character s thoughts after reading about World War II. The correct answer to the multiple-choice question, a screenshot of which was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, implied that Americans give undue weight to the horrors of the Holocaust.

Glen and Emily Stephens experienced the tragedy of a lifetime in 2012 when their 6-year-old son, Gabriel, died of complications from the flu. Gabriel had suffered from the physiological and neurological disorder Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome for years.
But when one door closed, another soon opened: Glen and Emily applied to be foster parents with the eventual goal of adoption. That s when they met John, a 2-year-old boy removed from the home of his birth mother after being rushed to the emergency room with a hemorrhaged retina and active hydrocephalus.
I applaud the House of Representatives for passing the Paycheck Fairness Act.
Closing the gender pay gap is more than just an economic imperative it s a moral imperative as well. Twelve years ago, when President Obama and I came into office, the very first law that we enacted was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. It was, and is, an important tool for helping women seek justice for pay discrimination but we are still a long way from achieving pay equity in America. In nearly every job more than 90 percent of occupations women are still earning less than men. For every dollar the typical man who works full-time full-year earns in America, a woman earns 82 cents. For AAPI women, it s 87 cents for every dollar a white man earns. For Black women, it s 63 cents. For Native American women, it s 60 cents. And for Hispanic women, it s 55 cents. Those gaps are an affront to our values as a nation they are unacceptable to me, and they should be unacceptable to every si
Press Release:
Vice President Harris and I have been briefed by our homeland security team on the mass shooting at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis, Indiana, where a lone gunman murdered eight people and wounded several more in the dark of night.
Today s briefing is just the latest in a string of tragedies, following closely after gunmen firing bullets in broad day light at spas in and around Atlanta, Georgia, a grocery store in Boulder, Colorado, a home in Rock Hill, South Carolina, and so many other shootings.
While we await critical details about the shooting, its motivation, and other key information, once again, I have the solemn duty of ordering the flag lowered at half-staff at the White House, public buildings and grounds, and military posts and embassies, just two weeks after I gave the last such order.
