The story is silly. I have no comment.

But look at the pic. Those girls are in middle school?







quote:

A mother has blasted a Washington middle school after her 14-year-old twin daughters, who are black, were made to clean freshly picked cotton during a history lesson.

Emzayia and Zyeshauwne Feazell, 14, said that they were the only black students who had to participate in a cotton picking lesson plan at Sacajawea Middle School in Spokane.

The girls told ABC News that on May 3 their social studies teacher pulled out a box of raw cotton and told the class they were going to do a 'fun' activity.

The teacher then instructed students to clean freshly picked cotton as part of a classroom assignment to see who could do so the fastest.

The sisters, who were the only black students in the class, said the lesson made them feel uncomfortable

The only black students, but not the only students made to do it.

So the whole class did the same activity, which kids have been doing forever, but because some black funts were treated equally, it’s “racist”


God we need a purge

Soooo. They didn’t actually pick the cotton, they, and every other student in the class, did the job of the gin.

My understanding is this is all nonsense.

It seems that they were teaching about the industrial revolution and the impact that the cotton gin had.

It was nothing about picking cotton. It was nothing about slavery. It was about technology and the industrial revolution.

I am guessing it was meant to demonstrate what a big deal the cotton gin was versus trying to clean the cotton by hand.

Anyway, it seems crazy.

We had to do something similar to show how long it took for these individuals to do this. Then we learned about how the fastest cleaners could do it and it led to learning about the cotton gin and how it changed cotton forever.

I’ve been dreading Kamala Harris’ Presidency, but honestly like the Joker in the Dark Knight “I’ve had a change of heart.” Please make her President as soon as humanly possible so she can do everything I’ve accused the Left of being for well over a year to put the proper face on it. Grandpa Joe isn’t good enough since idiots still find him enduring for being somewhat affable despite the fact he’s the clear villain in that story.

We need a Delores Umbridge in charge to truly put in perspective how foul and tyrannical the Left really is, and no one is more suited to that job than Kamala Harris (with the possible exception of Linda Sarsour (whose last name is literally cockroach), but she’d commit mass genocide). We need a Harry Potter character level of clear evil to get through the idiots brains who think what is currently going on is acceptable. I welcome the era of Kamala Harris’ suffering for the glory era DeSantis will bring afterwards.

That is not"picking cotton".

Is there anyone in the education dept that knows?

Pathetic how far woke will go to be offended.
