A charter school in Texas has apologized after eighth-grade students were asked to list the "positive" and "negative" aspects of slavery for an American history class.
"To be clear, there is no debate about slavery. It is immoral and a crime against humanity," Aaron Kindel, superintendent of Great Hearts Texas, said in a Facebook statement Thursday. "We sincerely apologize for the insensitive nature of this offense."
Earlier in the week, Roberto Livar posted a picture of the assigned worksheet, titled "The Life of Slaves: A Balanced View," that his son, Manu, said was asked to complete at Great Hearts Monte Vista North campus in San Antonio, according to HuffPost.
The issue was later brought to the public's attention when Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, sent out a tweet Thursday, slamming the assignment as "absolutely unacceptable."
This is absolutely unacceptable. A @GreatHeartsTX charter school in San Antonio asked students to complete a “balanced view” assignment about slavery, requiring them to list the “positive aspects” of slave life.

"Asking students to complete such an assignment challenges the reality that slavery was utterly dehumanizing," Castro said in a statement, according to KENS-TV. "It is also an affront to the basic idea of human liberty. Great Hearts Charter network should do a full review of its history curriculum and those who teach it."
No, they were built by hired workers with the best engineering skills of the day. Exodus is just a myth - Jews were never slaves in Egypt, or even lived there around the time the tale supposedly takes place. There is no record or physical evidence for their presence.
Soon we will reach the absolute heights of moral superiority, where all debate is banned and punishable by execution.

The Pyramids where not built by dragging Massive Stones into place. The Jews Scream Bloody Murder that they where Slaves and they Worked So Hard. The Jews even Have a Holiday to cry about how they where Forced to Drag Giant Rocks around.
The Niggers want a Slice of the Pie, the Jews and Niggers see Whites are Producers and plan to either Kill us all or enslave us.
the Longnose Tribe did not drag Giant Rocks, there was no secret technology either… they LongNose in fact had nothing to do with with the Piramids, as there is no writen Proof in Egypt. I Honestly think Niggers really did Build it…. they took Water and sand up the Hill and Made those rocks on the Spot.
Jews did not build the Pyramids. It was Probobly Niggers who where Much Cheeper than Jews. The Jews in turn Probobly got really pissed off because they where replaced with Niggers.
Pesah Is a Lie… Those Rocks where made on the Spot like Ordinary Bricks, by BLACKS
Judaism is a Lie.

Jews where Originally Miners in the lands of Syria, Linked by DNA of the Current Jew to the Burial sites and the Genetic Material buries within.
Jews Stole Math from the Indians and became bankers. Interesting how it is against Islamic Law to borrow "Money" Who Radicalized Islam?

Easy. * Slaves filled an important gap in economic growth when most people could not afford the new steam engines - slave power was far cheaper until motor-driven technologies and economies of scale in fossil fuels caught up enough to take the burden. * Although stereotypes pose slaves as physically abused, some, such as Frederick Douglass, were well-treated and educated by some of their keepers, whereas if African slaves had not been bought and brought to America, then any excess manpower would have been put to death by the African warlords who conquered and enslaved them. * Selling African slaves to whitey had a long-term effect of increasing the )))genetic diversity((( of America :^) * Blues What kind of shitty high-school students couldn't list these and many more by actually doing some research?

Can't let the little goyim learn something so problematic, now can we?

Borrowing money is allowed in Islam. They even tell the one giving money to make the one receiving money write a paper so he doesn't steal your money or you ask for more than what you given. Usury is the thing isn't allowed they try to rename it like benefits or other shit but you shouldn't get back more than what you gave,
Jaxson Perez
