The Dung Beetle Award  goes to...0" height="100" /> The Academy of Dung Beetles has rolled an award to Nathan Hale High School in West Allis, Wisc., which asked students, to complete an assignment about different views on the political spectrum.  The assignment listed a series of quotes and required students to identify which party affiliation best represented each statement. The first quote read, "We should not help the poor, it’s a waste of money."
One mother, who asked only to be identified as "Heather" to protect her son's privacy, said he chose option "E" for "Fascist" because he "didn't know what else could be the answer."
When the assignment was returned, the answer was marked as incorrect and the teacher wrote in option "D" for "Conservative/Republican" instead, his mother told FoxNews.com. [ECS]
