Middle school students in the Fairfax County Public Schools District were given the option to sit out on a Holocaust survivor's lecture.
Cooper Middle School will host a Holocaust survivor on March 18 to talk to seventh grade students. A subsequent email was sent to parents assuring them the lecture was not mandatory and that an “alternate assignment” could be provided upon request.
“We understand that all students have different experiences,” the email read. “If you prefer to opt your child out from participating in this presentation, please email your child’s history teacher and they will be provided an alternate assignment. Please email your child’s history teacher with any questions that you may have.”
