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.

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