Maximum butt-hurt!
Where’s my money?????
Obviously the teacher is White, or this would have been a “lesson in the evils that Whites have done over the centuries.”
Anything a White does or says, or doesn’t do or doesn’t say, can be called racist.
Maybe, the teacher should have done a 21st century re-enactment of Republicans trying to drag slaves off the Democrat plantation. Children could role play characters like Trump, Obama, Hillary, Pelosi, Schumer, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Starr Parker, Margaret Sanger, etc.
“imaginary chains on our necks, our wrists and shackles on our ankles”
Go to the middle east and see if their chains are “imaginary”. Then your teacher can virtue signal over there to them. Kiss your pet gerbils goodbye. LOLOLOL
When slavery is erased from our language and history, we will all be slaves......................
The stupidity of some teachers never fails to amaze me.
It’s OK. All the wyeboys were of Irish descent.
Teacher wanted to shame the wyepepo and direct the narrative to reparations for aboriginies.
Unintended consequences.
Private school tied to the Lutheran Church, as far as I can tell..
I don’t have a problem with putting oneself in the shoes of the past when it comes to studying history... Its important that all people understand history... Because damned if few today even have the most basic understanding.
If however she purely split up black students to be the slaves, and whites purely to be the buyers, She really wasn’t helping to expand the minds of her students.... If she randomly picked a few students to be the slaves, and the others to be the buyers, acted this out and discussed it, then I think it could be a good lesson for all involved...
Of course its not PC in the least, because political correctness is simply thought control by another name.. However, if she purely split the kids up by race, to ‘reenact” a slave auction, this was beyond stupid.
Best bet in situations like this would be to pick kids who tend to be leaders/respected by their peers, and let them play the role of the oppressed, and then explain how it made them feel after, because the other students would be more likely to listen and absorb.
Of course I don’t know the age of the kids, or the actual facts, because I trust the media to get things like this RIGHT when they report them, in full context to be near to zero.
They should have just called it a “Mock NFL Draft”.
The slave auction the Latin class held every year was one of the highlights! Where else could you get someone to carry your books for a whole day for 35 cents?
Just another version of the upcoming NFL Draft.
Used to have a black physical therapist about my age who worked for me. He used to introduce himself as my brother.
I tried introducing him as my brother once and it just wasn’t nearly as funny.
according to Pelosi, Italians are people of color. So now what?
You can measure job-burnout in various ways - but this takes the cake for retirement effectiveness.
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.
