!["Could you kill a baby...?" Parents shocked by controversial question on school handout](https://maltadaily.mt/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/1-2.jpg)
Parents across Malta have expressed their concern after a photo of a questionable school question began making the rounds on social media. The question presents a ‘moral dilemma’ where the reader would have to imagine if they are left in a room with a baby who they know “will grow up to be a dictator who will kill millions.”
The question asks the student to explain in detail what they would do and why, going on to ask if they would ‘kill a baby even if [they] knew it would save millions’. Rightly so, parents began to question the reasoning behind why such a question would be featured in a school question.
Local political party ‘Partit Popolari’ took to Facebook to notify the general public that such a question was being asked in Maltese school handouts. The post highlighted that “common sense must prevail in the curriculum and the Education Department. Our children’s minds are not experiments!”
Do you agree with these statements?
