The Florida middle school teacher who gave students a quiz with a question that referred to President Trump as an “idiot” has been reassigned.

The Palm Beach County School District is looking into the incident that happened at Watson B. Duncan Middle School.

It all started when a student told her father about the question, and he reported it to school administrators.

WPTV reports that the question gave four words on the quiz that said: “45th Pres; 2017; Republican; Real Estate businessman; Idiot.”

The four choices for answers were Donald Trump, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, and Jimmy Carter.

The father of the student who reported the question tweeted out:

“This was an actual question on my daughter’s middle school test today. Furious. Going to raise some hell with the principle. Indoctrination will not continue. (See word “idiot” at the end of our presidents multiple choice answer). Not having it!” 

The question has been removed from the quiz.

The question has since been removed from the quiz, the station reported.

Duncan Principal Philip D’Amico said in a letter to parents that “the question was inappropriate and demonstrated an unacceptable lack of good judgment on the part of the teacher.”

The shocking thing is that the teacher was just reassigned! Why wasn’t she fired?

There is an investigation into this that should include the software company that provides the tests called Quizlet.

Fox News reports that messages to Quizlet, the software program students used to take the quiz, were not immediately returned.

One report says that the teacher didn’t write the question, but selected it from a list on Quizlet, an online learning tool.
