Mock slavery lesson at California high school stirs outrage among parents

Some people are just too stupid to be left unsupervised. Sadly, some of them have been entrusted with educating our children.

A California high school is facing a backlash after administering an interactive mock slavery lesson to students.
In the activity at Whitney High School, 8th grade students played the part of slaves, with their hands bound with masking tape, CBS Los Angeles reported. The teachers played the part of the slave ship captains.
An explainer of the lesson plan was emailed to parents Sept. 5, describing it as a “simulation activity” looking to teach “students about the slave system in colonial America.” One parent posted a copy of the letter to Facebook.
It said the teachers would line the students up outside their classrooms, tie their wrists together with masking tape and make them lie on the ground inside a dark room while they watched a clip from the movie “Roots.”
It also said that the activity was meant to be a surprise because it was “more powerful” when it was something the students were "not prepared for.”

Sounds like the premise of an Onion article...sadly it isn't.

Not sure what to think on this one.
I think simulations are an extremely useful tool for people to gain true perspective.

Perhaps an abortion simulation would be accepted in sex-ed class.

holy shite, that's one twisted teacher...
you know, slavery was pretty horrifying when the basics were explained
you can't go anywhere
you work all the time
you don't get paid
you don't own anything
your wife and kids are not yours
you can be beaten, mutilated or killed
you are property.

I don't know. Kids don't really have perspective on things like that if they're just told in a classroom.

I know how my daughter would react.
You want to tie me up? You want a quick kick in the nuts?

I wonder how many mock Continental Congress sessions debating the ratification of the Constitution these so called educators have held.

Hmmm, my dogs are my property. I don't beat, mutilate or kill them. Hell, they live like Kangs.

Wonder why they never simulate African tribes capturing other African tribes and selling them to white and Muslim slave traders for goods...hmmm

Look if people can't get loose from masking tape they deserve to be slaves

You mean in teaching about slavery they used a work of fiction?
