A Houston-area school district says one of its teachers used poor judgment when she had her students read an essay critical of President Donald Trump.
The teacher had her 7th grade students in the Goose Creek school district read a series of 10 essays from an outside source designed to help them practice inference and point of view.
One of the essays was titled, “Trump Against American Values.”
In a statement Wednesday, the school district said “clearly the teacher did not use good judgment” with the essay.
The district says the teacher “had no ill intent.”
The district says after the incident was made public, it received many calls about it that were “threatening in nature.”
The district is located about 40 miles east of Houston.

The real crime here is the terrible grammatical errors, both in the essay and the questions.
Include Jewish,Torah values to that list.
Supporting Israel is appreciated but not everything in this world.
Here we have a President who has been in the spotlight for decades. A public figure for longer than we’ve had the last five presidents put together. A household name in parts, and even upon Congressional Hearings in the 1980’s, he was introduced as such.
And here we have another example of some “scholar” or whatever this writer is, publically announcing they are so intelligent that they’ve never heard of the guy until he became President and messes up royally. And they wonder what’s wrong with the secular education system!
