Teacher asked kids to list their "party"; bullied little girl
Students were asked if they would choose being a Republican or DEMOCRAT in class. The answers were publicized, with conservative students being bullied.
Union County Public Schools responded Thursday afternoon, confirming the "lesson" did happen.
"Union County Public Schools staff is aware of the parent’s concerns," a spokeswoman for the district said. "School administrators have addressed this matter with teachers and they will continue to have conversations about best practices for instruction."
The school district said the school's principal spoke with students about respecting each other and each other's opinions, but did not say if any disciplinary action was taken.
