Parents are outraged over the assignment one Utah junior high school gave to students this week, in light of the recent terrorist attacks.

According to The Washington Post, a ninth-grade teacher at Salem Junior High School asked students to create a "terrorism propaganda poster."

One parent called the school concerned that the research required for the school assignment could put his son in danger of being added to a federal terrorist watch list.

After complaints, the assignment was withdrawn. According to a school spokeswoman, the teacher will not face disciplinary action.
