‘It’s ridiculous!’ Conservative mother fumes over school assignment claiming GOP is anti-welfare

A conservative Wisconsin mother says she was shocked that find that her son’s classroom assignment described Republicans as being against welfare.

The woman said her son, a junior at Nathan Hale High School in West Allis, was asked to complete an assignment about the political spectrum in his U.S. government class last week, Fox News reported. The assignment required students to link a number of political statements to different party affiliations.

Her son was graded as incorrect for assessing the statement, “We should not help the poor, it’s a waste of money,” as Fascist instead of conservative/Republican.

“When I picked my son up from school, he asked me what political party did I think thought ‘We should not help the poor, it’s a waste of money,’” the student’s mother, Heather Bronnson, told EAGnews.

1. The mother told Faux Snooze. That should raise red flags all over the place.

The story is either greatly distorted or fabricated. Just like Faux Snooze's annual "War on Christmas" and other topics.

3. Guess it's embarrassing when your kids find out you're an asshole.

But really, the Republican position on this has been pretty clear over the years.

6. Having the talk with your children is never easy...

Yes, Jimmy...Your father and I... umm... well... You see, we are colossal assholes!! We hate everyone who isn't exactly like us!!! Don't get me wrong, we will tolerate a few,... of those people, that are willing to say exactly what we want them to, but mainly we are hateful, spiteful pricks. And that's just the way it is!!! You will be the mean jerkwad that we want you to be as well!!

4. So sad when nobody has the guts to let poor people starve to death to teach others a lesson.

I have an idea: If this mother thinks the answer is wrong, all she has to do is find a contemporary conservative who wants to give money to the poor!
