Fox News: a champion of islamophobia.

Quote:

High school students in Wisconsin were asked to pretend that they were Muslims for a 10th grade World History writing assignment. Union Grove High School teacher Beth Urban asked students to write a five paragraph essay in which they pretend they are a Muslim male or female in the U.S. "Give three examples of what you do daily for your religion and any struggles you face," Urban instructed. The assignment has some questioning why this is part of a World History class and also if similar assignments were given for other religions. "I wonder if any of the kids who took that assignment ... and wrote down, for instance, what Sharia law is?" Steve Doocy remarked on "Fox and Friends" this morning. "And if they did, I wonder what their grades were." Watch the "Fox and Friends" clip above and let us know what you think about this assignment in the comments
