Mike Brown was shot dead in Ferguson, Missouri on August 9, 2014.
Michael Brown robbed a local Ferguson convenience store shortly before his death. Then Brown smashed police officer Darren Wilson in the face and wrestled the officer for his gun before he was shot dead.
At least seven black Ferguson witnesses corroborated Officer Darren Wilson’s story. Officer Darren Wilson was not indicted by the St. Louis County grand jury after an extensive investigation.
But facts be damned.
St. Louis public schools have put together a lesson plan for students on how to teach students about Ferguson and Gentle Giant Mike Brown.
This lesson plan for teachers includes three sections: resources for learning about Ferguson, resources for learning about the historical backdrop to Ferguson, and a new section on how our attempts to engage and teach on these topics have gone.
Page one – background on racism in Ferguson.
On page two they compare violent robber Michael Brown to MLK and Gandhi.
On page three they compare the rioting mob in Ferguson that torched half the businesses in the community to the Boston Tea Party.
On page four of the lesson plan they urge teachers to discuss police violence.
On page five teachers are urged to discuss the far left’s response on social media. This is despite the fact that the far left misrepresented the case from day one… Example: Hands Up, Don’t Shoot.
