It seems to me that the only relevant question in terms of this lawsuit is whether any of those assignments are properly given by this teacher to his students, not whether they might hypothetically be okay in a different set of circumstances. I say they clearly are not. And I didn't take Marc's remarks as humorous at all. I think he's right. If that handout is indicative of the supplemental material that he was passing out to his students, I predict, as Marc did, that they will lose in court and probably lose fairly decisively and may well end up having to pay the costs of the school district in defending itself.

Marc's humorous riposte provides, I suppose, all the analysis that he thinks the Williams' assignment justifies.  Having doubts, after laboring in the woodshed from time to time, that such humorous but otherwise pointless posts add anything of substance to the discussion, I will ask those who care to respond to it this question:
 
Is there any circumstance in the American public schooling context in which any of these assignments may properly be given to students?  If there are, what are they?  If there are not, why not?
