'Nazi'-assignment in scool at New York state

The Albany High School teacher asked students to assume they were convincing a Nazi official of their loyalty, reports BBC.
A third of the students refused to complete the English class assignment.

That's good, it´s little bit more what's giving the result of Milgram experiment.

Sure, school board members and representatives from Jewish organisations joined her at the briefing.
This English teacher, who has not been named, asked students to pick a method of argument and review a packet of Nazi propaganda in order to make a persuasive argument that `Jews are evil and the source of our problems´.

The device of Milgram's
obedience study.
`Please remember - your life [here in Nazi Germany in the 1930s] may depend on it. You do not have a choice in your position... use solid rationale from government propaganda to convince me of your loyalty to the Third Reich.´

The school system's superintendent says she believed that the teacher bore no ill intent but that the assignment should have been worded differently.
Really,
One of the new `participatory´ learning method?
