The 9th graders are studying the French Revolution. One of my students handed me this document (link at left) to see my reaction. I read the first few lines and burst out laughing.
Wayne (history teacher) later told me that it's a primary source from a revolutionary newspaper written by the "sans-culottes". He said that he introduced it by telling the kids "you may be offended by this, so I won't give it to you unless you raise your hand." They all raised their hands.
