A private school teacher is being investigated, accused of holding “racist lessons” involving a mock “slave auction” where white students were urged to bid on their black classmates.
The teacher reportedly acted as the auctioneer in the Bronxville New York school’s Year 5 social studies class exercise where three black “slaves” were auctioned off as part of a US history lesson.
A mother of one of the students “auctioned” off at The Chapel School said her African-American son told her the teacher, Rebecca Antinozzi, placed “imaginary chains on our necks, our wrists and shackles on our ankles”.
“I was in shock,” Vernex Harding told The New York Post on Friday.
The mother said the alleged mock slave auction happened last Tuesday at the private school, where annual tuition costs up to AU$20,000.
“He was humiliated,” Ms Harding said of her child’s involvement.
“My son doesn’t want to see her again and I don’t want to see her again.”
In an email to parents, the principal called the lesson “racially insensitive and hurtful”.
New York Attorney General Letitia James confirmed to the Post the teacher was being investigated.

Big mistake. The teacher SHOULD have taken the white and black students and sold them as slaves to an pretend Arab. Far more realistic.
Why would this even be a thing? There hasn’t been slavery in the United States since 1865. White Christians are the only ones who have put an end to it. White Christians should be noted for this, not condemned for someone else’s sins.
I attended a dance competition this weekend, one of the dances surprised me. The class was comprised of white girls plus one black boy. The song they danced to was “Run Boy Run”. Costumes and choreography made him the slave trying to escape the slave owners.
I was shocked that a studio did this, but the part that bothered me most was the girls’ costumes; they were creepy in a perverse way-kind of a dominatrix look. They were in the 14 or 15 year old category.
What would be said if this teacher just says to her students, “Slavery never happened in this country”?
New York Attorney General Letitia James confirmed...the teacher was being investigated.”
