    It's factual, so kids might actually learn something useful from it.

    It is just an insult - and not very original, and not really factual:

    In many jurisdictions being an actual 'idiot' imply that you are not capable of committing crimes (or shouldn't be sent to prison for the actions).

    Actually you don't want it to be true - as it would create a new legal defense strategy: Trump did commit treason, but he is an idiot so he cannot be impeached.

    Impeachment is a vote. They could impeach him for tying his shoelaces "the wrong way" if they had enough votes. It doesn't require evidence of criminality, although it would help getting them votes.

    The father is right tbh. I'm sure Trump will leave a "legacy" that'll give the majority of people that view of him anyway.

    While.its pretty factual it being on a school test is kind of inappropriate. That being said it's high school they should be old enough to start forming their own opinions

    If Donald Trump doesn't fall under the definition of the word ''idiot'' then we really need to reexamine that word's meaning..
    It still begs the question why you put it on a test. Many Presidents have had their faults, from outright illegal behaviour to shady practices. Is Clinton labeled as an adulterer? Does Nixons resumee list Watergate?

    I agree with the sentiment, but it has no place in a school test.

    Wow. that seems rude, but given the left's current desires to force their way of thinking on everyone, this is not surprising.

    Correct, however pretty beging compaired to what comes out of the orange turd and his base's mouth. They deserve everything that's coming to them, even if it's childish.

    Don't complain when teachers bias start rubbing your kids the "wrong" way then.

    Oh it's not toxic here, it's just living proof that intolerance is humanity's normal state of mind.

    Normally I'd lean towards saying this doesn't belong in a classroom, but it conflicts with my principles of truth and honesty, to try and pretend like he isn't an idiot. Do we really want to go down the path of teaching kids that Trump's behavior is acceptable or normal?
    They are kids, brean wash them however you see fit.

    Nope just speaking from experiences. Your eye roll though is legit what you do with all my posts, so just like this teacher's bias, not at all surprising. hope you don't strain your eye to much.

    But do you find these listed next to their accomplishments on school tests, and in particular this specific school test? No? Because that is the issue I am raising. It is good to remind your leaders of their failures. It's also good to know about their failures. And I, too, would label Trump a moron. But school tests should be neutral. Either list all of the presidents flaws, or none of them. Equality and such. If this test names Trump an idiot, it should name Clinton an adulterer. (Is adulterer a word...?)

    The left is about ''let each person live their life how they choose''
    The right is ''this is the ''correct'' way to live and you are a shit person if you venture outside of that"

    Now tell me which one desires to force their beliefs onto others?
    Thats sounds like 60 years ago when the right had all the social power, these days the left enforce morality, letting all know the "PC" path to live, what is or isn't sin.

    Generally I feel classrooms should avoid putting labels on modern day politicians until historians and historiographers get to them. We have insane biases with anything recent, so any present day publication would have something to prove rather than patterns to share or teach. Then again that field may already be working on how to deconstruct our last few presidencies, while the media runs wild. They did the same with genetics. People figured out how to do crispr cas9 editing and idiots screamed crispr babies.

    This is just silly. You don’t think the right pushes what they consider the right way to live? PC culture is a great marketing slogan for disillusioned youth. It’s like “eXtreme” in the 90s, but being pushed by political, instead of soda, marketing.

    Oh the right absolutely tries too, we know, to an extent, what that would be like form our history. yet they are not in control anymore. Its the left determining what is and isn't sin these days.

    Someone should pop out a similar example from the Obama era.
