A Fairfax County, Virginia, parent expressed concerns about a recent anti-Second Amendment persuasive essay sample assigned to fifth graders, Fox News Digital reported Monday.
Darcey Geissler, a family law attorney and mother of six, told the news outlet that the school assignment was "a poorly written, factually and legally inaccurate 'essay,' written by an adult parading as a child, being used to once again advance a political agenda."
The essay, which made a case for banning firearms nationwide, was assigned to fifth-grade students. The assignment asked students to analyze the piece from a "neutral perspective" and determine whether it made a convincing argument.
A spokesperson for Fairfax County Public Schools told Fox News Digital that the assignment was a part of a "persuasive writing fifth-grade unit."
