Post Black students told to act like slaves

WAXHAW, N.C., Nov. 6 (UPI) -- Parents and teachers at a North Carolina school are protesting a history lesson that involved African-American students pretending to be slaves.

Teachers at Rea View Elementary in Waxhaw said they are planning to write leaders at the Latta Plantation about a lesson during a Wednesday field trip that involved an African-American tour guide instructing black students to pretend to be slaves while their white classmates looked on, WSOC-TV, Charlotte, reported Friday.

An AA had them do it?

Maybe having random kids wear the bags, but not just AA.(unless AA wanted too)
I doubt the school even considered this possibility since the presenter was AA.

I guess, I am prejudice(pre-judge) that a minority would understand the facts and feelings of slavery.
I guess race, has no boundry on ignorance.

Islam is not the problem, blind faith is.

Christians need to cast their nets in the sea of despair, not in the aquarium of church-----come, I will make you fishers of men.

It seems pretty silly. If the tour guide had been white, he might have been careful to choose a mixed race group
