A photo of the assignment, which was written from Adolf Hitler's perspective and said 'I was very popular and many people followed me,' was shared online.

A New Jersey school board is defending an elementary student after their character development assignment on Hitler drew community criticism that it glorified the Holocaust.

Under accomplishments, the child’s assignment read “I was very popular and many people followed me until I died. My belif in antisemitism drove me to kill more than 6 million Jews,” according to the post. Birk told NBC News that it was sent to her by a friend who has a child at the school and that the assignment was posted in the school’s hallway. The parent did not wish to be interviewed, Birk said.

“Educational assignments, especially those centered around the history of genocide and oppression, need to be handled carefully and sensitive those who may be personally impacted,” Richman said. “We have reached out to local school officials and look forward to offering our support to the school and district to address this situation and build stronger educational practices moving forward.”

Ron DeSantis Has Banned Trans Girls in Florida From School SportsOn the first day of Pride month, no less. RonDeSantisFL is what Trump's asshole would look like if it turned inside out. No men/boys are banned from sports. Men/boys who claim 'special identities' can still play on the male team. Sports are segregated by sex for the safety & fairness of BODIES. Women created our own teams to protect our BODIES not to validate our 'special woman identity.'
