Brickbat: Holding Out for a Hero

Heather Watts says her daughter was asked to
write a paper on a hero for a class at North Carolina’s Cerro Gordo
Elementary School. But when the girl turned in a paper
on Jesus,
her teacher asked her to write about someone else, Watts says. In a
statement, school officials said students in the class face no
restrictions on who they could write about. But Watts says her
daughter is still being asked to write about something
different.
