A Hawaii middle school has been busted for distributing biased material about the classroom that critics say accuses former President Donald Trump of wanting to take down democracy — and casts Vice President Kamala Harris in a more favorable light.

Outrage erupted after students at Kapolei Middle School, just outside Honolulu, were given a two-page document that sought to compare where the Republican and Democratic presidential candidates stood on six key issues — including democracy and immigration , Hawaii News Now reported.

On the issue of democracy, Trump has been described as trying to “overturn the 2020 election,” while his Democratic rival has been painted as someone who simply “wants to keep our country a democracy.”

Despite the ongoing immigration crisis plaguing the US, Harris was praised for hiring “more people to police the border” and limiting “how many people can move into the US.”

Meanwhile, Trump has been described as a candidate who “finds and arrests people illegally in the US” and claimed that he only “takes children away from their parents”.

The slanted class materials have sparked controversy among parents who have suggested their children are being taught to view Trump in a negative light.

“Very upset,” said one parent, Angel Morales, after learning the document had been handed to the children.

“I think teachers should do their jobs because teachers are about education and not about politics.”

“I thought she was a bit biased. I don’t think it’s fair, especially at this age level,” said another public school parent, Natasha Heffernan.

The chart was created by teachers who tried to make fun of information they gleaned from a candidate comparison article published by the New York Times, according to the state Department of Education.

“Recently, a Kapolei Middle sixth-grade class used an exercise called ‘It’s a Match,’ adapted from a New York Times article, to help students understand the candidates’ positions on key issues,” said a DOE spokesperson.

“Teachers have simplified this information to make it accessible to young students, striving to remain factual and unbiased. The intention was to encourage independent thinking and discussion among students, not to promote any particular view.

“We recognize that interpreting and simplifying complex issues can sometimes lead to perceived imbalances, particularly when presenting nuanced political topics to younger audiences, but we remain committed to maintaining a balanced learning environment.”

Despite the backlash, some parents praised the school for trying to get kids involved in politics ahead of the election.

“I actually appreciate it because it’s important to teach students how to make informed decisions when we go to the polls,” Christine Russo told the media, adding that the handout “doesn’t bother me.”

The Hawaii State Teachers Association also defended the teaching materials.

“Both HSTA, the Board of Education, and the DOE support student discussion of issues that may generate opposing viewpoints as an important part of the learning process,” a union spokesman said in a statement.

“Age-appropriate civics education helps students develop a meaningful awareness and respect for the U.S. Constitution and individual rights. It encourages students’ recognition of the individual freedom and social responsibility to vote.”

They added: “Teachers create lessons to enable students to study, investigate, process and develop their own views about the world and themselves.”
