New Jersey middle school appeases terrorist sympathizers

A middle school in Wayne, New Jersey, has apologized for a quiz question that called ISIS a terrorist group after backlash from terrorist-sympathizing organizations, showing how pro-terrorism rhetoric is continuing to infect academia.

The question that caused controversy said, “It is a terrorist organization that commits acts of violence, destroys cultural artifacts, and encourages loss of life in order to achieve its goal of global rule under strict Islamic Sharia law.” The four multiple-choice options were the Shining Path, al Qaeda, the Palestinian Liberation Organization, and the correct response, Islamic State, which is also known as ISIS.
