A homework assignment from a Texas high school English class is raising a few eyebrows after students were asked to write about "hero” Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse.

Rittenhouse, 17, faces charges of first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide, attempted first-degree intentional homicide, possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18, and two counts of first-degree reckless endangerment after he shot protesters, killing two and injuring one, who were rallying following the police shooting of Jacob Blake by Kenosha, Wis., police in August.

Students at W.T. White High School in Dallas were given an assignment, dubbed “Hero for the Modern Age,” which called for students to write half-page biographies of Mahatma Gandhi, César Chávez, Malcolm X, George Floyd, Rittenhouse and Joseph D. Rosenbaum, one of Rittenhouse’s alleged victims.

The assignment also misspelled Gandhi and Malcolm X, according to CBS Dallas Fort Worth.

“From the spelling, to the grammar, no women on the list… and then a white supremacist murderer,” Kristian, a relative of one of the students who did not want to provide her last name, said to CBS News 11 while the saying the teacher’s lack of judgment made them unsuitable for teaching children. Several students who received the assignment also complained about it on social media.

2. I sincerely hope

that a good number of students shredded the bastard, then ended their essay with, “I’m aware that the numbers to the local news stations are ______________, the number to the local NLG chapter is _________, and the local ACLU chapter is ___________. I’m not afraid to start dialing them if I don!t get a good grade. Your move, nazi.”
