California teacher's alleged quiz question trashes conservatives, school investigating
Whitney High School teacher purportedly asked students to identify 'a group of complete idiots'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A California high school teacher appeared to criticize conservatives in a quiz question given to students last week, prompting outrage from parents and a school investigation, according to local reports.
The quiz question asked students in a social science class at Whitney High School in Rocklin, a city located about 20 miles from Sacramento, to identify "a group of complete idiots." The possible answers were given in a multiple-choice format as: "A) KKK; B) all of Florida; C) Fox news; D) Texans."

"These stories have gone in one ear and out the other," she said.
Another parent, who wished to remain anonymous, told the station that this teacher’s one-sided political comments – most often directed against the Republican Party – have been an ongoing issue in the classroom.

A student told KCRA-TV that the social science teacher is known to "always make jokes" in class.

Whitney High School released a statement on Saturday telling parents it will investigate the controversial question after students, families and the community raised concerns.
