A Georgia school district is investigating after a 7-year-old student, “the only white girl in her class,” according to her father, was cast to play a segregationist in a school play.

In a video of the play, 7-year-old Anastasia Bertram, playing the part of a segregationist, yelled at a group of black children to “go away, you don’t belong here!” She then marched with a sign that read, “Go home,” on one side and “Cursed is the man who integrates” on the other, ABC-affiliated WSB-TV reported.

Douglas County School District said it is investigating the March 2 incident at Burnett Elementary School in Douglasville, after the girl’s parents complained that they were never notified about their daughter’s involvement in the play, and that they had no idea the nature of her role until they were sitting in the audience.

Why would any 1st or 2nd grade class (guessing that since she is 7) be putting on any play like this? Those kids have no freaking idea what they are doing.
I only hope I can make it the send half of my life before the whole country burns down. I always assumed I would be 70 when I started really believing the country was going to shite. I barely made 40 and am already bitching about it daily.

Her being the absolute minority in the situation. Can't divert from the script people! White person = controller

Sounds like a swell play.

I get being upset with the topic and the role, but did they just show up for a school play that they didn't expect their child to be in?

I’d love to see the person who gave final approval for second graders to do this play

Post-racial America folks.

Libs are really doubling down on race.

It's the old playbook in full bloom.

They were portraying one moment in history, one small, two-second moment in history. It may not be appropriate but it happened,” Ms. Lake said

So did the holocaust but second graders don't do plays about putting Jews in ovens.

The worst part was the excuse given. They said that she volunteered for the part when another student could not remember the lines and follow direction. Since she is the only white girl in the class, do you think that I am to believe that the role of a white supremacist was originally given to a black child that was too stupid to remember the line “go home”?

Then they went on to say they were re-enacting a 2-minute part of history that did happen so they justify it. It took less than 2-minutes to hang a black person in history too. Would they be OK if white students re-enacted that part using the only black student in the class?

The liberal teachers and administrators are out of their damn minds. I feel sorry for white parents who cannot afford to remove their kids from almost all black schools.

In the video there is a black student holding a sign that says "Go Back to Africa." Clearly the topic seems a bit inappropriate for young children, but it seems some black children were also cast in a "racist role."

But I find it interesting that the parents pulled their kids out of the school for this, while they let their kids attend a school that has proficiency ratings around 15% for all subjects compared to the state averages around 35-40%.

Parents, please get your children out of the public school farm system.

I mean...if she’s the only white person in her class...wouldn’t it make sense to cast her as the white segregationist? I mean, wouldn’t it be kinda weird for her to play Vivian Malone and have some black kid pretending to be George Wallace?
