YouTube - School Gives Girl An 'F' For Refusing To Write Essay on How She Would Sell Her Soul To The Devil

She was given an alternate assignment.. No story here

[OKBound]

To me the more appropriate essay assignment should have been Would You and if not, Why Not. This teacher should have been disciplined and that principal should apologize.

Anton Newcombe, the semi-psychotic leader of The Brian Jonestown Massacre (a band) had a great quote on the back of their CD "Thank God For Mental Illness":

Q: anton, did you sell your soul?

A: well, i tried to, but the line was so long i said "f**k it!"

I can't believe the school gave that assignment. She is a young girl and the school needs to consider that the kids come from all kinds of different backgrounds. This was guaranteed to upset some families and I don't blame them. The underlying premise is that she would sell her soul (even if fictional) and that is crossing lines no child should be asked to cross. This isn't even a close call. The fact that she was given an alternative assignment is certainly better than not but anyone who would give that assignment to kids this age has a big-time judgment problem.
