The children! The children! Now, I'll agree that having students team up, research, and then debate a current legal issue is an excellent pedagogical approach. Unfortunately, the kids in this classroom, though they may be learning debating skills, have apparently been misled about what the gravamen of the case actually is. If this article is accurate, they've been given only the distorted, PC version. (Yeah, I know. They're only eighth-graders. But it's never too early for the rigorous approach. Or the truth.)
