My son's history teacher was just suspended for having the kids break into different groups - northerners for and against slavery, and southerners for and against - and to write a rap song (yep - a rap song) about their reasons for having that stand.
Except one African-American girl who was assigned to southern pro slavery group asked if she could be moved to a non-pro slave group and was told No.



how are so many teachers so fricking stupid?

That was pretty stupid in today’s hyper sensitive climate.
Sad but true.

I mean that is really, really stupid to do. I hate PC culture but he is clearly to dumb to teach kids if he rationalized this in his head either way.

America 2019 ladies and gentlemen


Early 80s in middle school, a white kid came to school dressed as a slave master and his friend (black kid) came dressed as a slave for Halloween.

It was funny and nobody thought anything more than it was a funny joke.

Teacher has to be retarded. Teach kids about the horrors of slavery all day long. But trying to have kids recreate or reenact through scenarios is about as dumb as they come.
