Sixth graders at Roberts Middle School in Cuyahoga Falls are starting off the new school-year with a bang, assigning children the responsibility of determining who deserves to survive the end of the world based on factors like race, religion, age, occupation and sexual orientation. It’s like a combination of 12 Angry Men and the horror film Circle, only for children’s academic success.
A concerned Cuyahoga Falls councilmember Adam Miller (Ward 6) brought it to public consciousness during a meeting on Wednesday. Then a copy of the assignment was provided to Cleveland 19, and it’s a proverbial trash fire of racism, classism, homophobia, sexism, ageism, ableism and every other disgusting -ism you could imagine.
In order to teach children how to play God, and how to place value on human life as if they were the Jigsaw Killer in Saw, they were all told to save eight passengers of the possible 12.
The parent who provided a copy of the assignment to Channel 19 left their child’s “rankings,” on the paper, which is horrifying considering their kid decided that a professional athlete who happens to be gay and a Native American woman who cannot speak English are not worthy of surviving, putting them on the same level of “unworthiness” as a racist armed police officer accused of using excessive force and an accountant with a substance abuse problem. Joy.
Roberts Middle School declined to comment to Cleveland 19, and the Cuyahoga Falls School District has also been contacted seeking comment.

Shhh…..
can you hear that? That calm before the inevitable shit storm from this abortion of an assignment?
I’ve done a similar assignment as a teacher, except it was about survival. They were all on a lifeboat and they could only hold 8/14. They had to decide who to keep on and who to throw overboard. Fantastic assignment that taught argument as well as respectful discussion and how to recognize your own biases.
I think the wording on this assignment (using the word “deserve”) muddles the waters a little bit, and maybe changes the tone. But at its core its a great assignment and people are overreacting.
Who wrote this shit? Did the teacher pull it out of his butt? if so, he or she should be fired. If it came from a textbook, who okayed the textbook? Did the administration know of this exercise beforehand and give it the freen light? I am shocked,,,shocked….to see what kids are dealing with in today’s public school systems. But…this is Trumpolini’s America, so I am not really all that surprised.
These Savage children took the pregnant accountant’s wife but did not take the accountant. Probably because he was straight. Maybe if he was gay? Nope, they left the gay guy back too.
Trump Derangement sufferers blamimg Trump when lifeboat ethics has been around a long time.
Funny thing is the progressives would have no problem with the assignment if it included conservatives. They would say it’s good to kill them.
More amazing how the progressive media pawns think Trump is fascist when current mainstream progressive tacticts the most fascist ever seen in America.
Maybe this assignment was designed to get the kids thinking about how horrifying and wrong it is to try and “rank” people like this. 6th graders are old enough to start considering such things. At least as concerning is that the author themselves let it slip out that they feel
such rankings are appropriate. According to them an accountant with a substance abuse problem is less worthy than a gay professional athlete, etc
The Militant African American converts to Islam and takes the Muslim international student as his first wife. He then takes power of the group as there are no other strong males to resist him. He then converts the group to Islamic style government. The clergyman is then killed for not converting to Islam. The Jewish administrator obviously is removed by Islam as their book commands. The Militant leader then takes the movie star and accountant’s wife as his 2nd and 3rd wives. The Asian boy did convert and now carries out the tasks of the camp while the women give continuous birth to the Militant man’s babies.
shame on you clescene. the purpose of the assigntment is to teach children that everyones life has meaning whether they are gay white and account or whatever. Good job on your research you nitwits. I guess this is the only job you could get since you barely graduated.
