The race for the White House is reaching local classrooms and one lesson has some parents calling "bias."

The controversy is over a two-page document that was handed out to classrooms at Kapolei Middle School.

It broke down where the U.S. presidential candidates — Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican former President Donald Trump — stand on the issues.

The state Department of Education confirms the document was put together by a group of teachers at the school who simplified the information in a candidate comparison article in the New York Times.

The material given out to students lists six issues.

CRIME

Harris: “Gives money to police”
Trump: “Sends soldiers to cities”

DEMOCRACY

Harris: “Wants to keep our country a democracy”
Trump: “Tried to overturn the 2020 election

IMMIGRATION

Harris: “Hires more people to watch the border”
Harris: “Limits how many people can move to the U.S.
Trump: “Finds and catches people in the U.S. illegally”
Trump: “Takes children away from their parents”

    Agreed. About the only way they could increase their objectivity would be by using the candidate’s own, recent words on the various topics.

    Somehow, I think there would be far more outrage if they had done that…
