This publisher of this spelling bee for children not be anti-Zionist or anti-Semitic, but it's contents are certainly odd.
San Francisco Chronicle
The page lists 10 chemistry terms that children should know like kinetic, aerosol, equilibrium and....disproportinate. Examples of sentences using these words are provided to illuminate their meaning after which children are asked to find the definition of the word at the bottom of the page. The sentence using disproportionate is the following:
Israel came under heavy international criticism for the Gaza offensive. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and other questioned whether it had been a disproportionate response to the use of crude Qassam rockets by Palestinian militants.
Where's the chemistry in that? Thanks to Backspin for the story.
