An Indiana school district has issued an apology after a middle school teacher was accused of letting her disdain for President Trump and Fox News influence her teaching. As Fox News Insider reports, Sarah Ford, an eight-grade Spanish teacher at Blackhawk Middle School in Fort Wayne, Ind., allegedly assigned a student a report on Trump’s “many lies.” The student, Jacob Hein, told his father about the homework, prompting an official complaint. According to Todd Hein, his son was given the assignment after the teacher rejected — and reportedly ridiculed — his translation of a Fox News article for class on March 20.
