I'm with you 100% on this one, and I don't really mind if an educator finds the idea offensive. I actually find the idea of forcing children to work when they're on vacation to be quite insensitive. Vacation is supposed to be about resting, rather than serving as an opportunity for teachers to assign more work. Kids need downtime just like adults do. I've been vocal about this problem with my kids' teachers (with some success, actually).
Can your son and all the other kids in the class call their teacher for help on the assignment during the break?
Okay, I'll keep this rant short!
