"Adrienne Aaron, whose husband is African-American, said her daughter is in Barron's class and wasn't offended by the video, saying that it was merely showing what some entertainers did in the 1800s."

Blackface was used well into the 1900's, and racially offensive cartoons were still shown in the 1950's. It sounds like the teacher is being punished for telling it like it was. I guess telling the truth can now get you suspended.

I recall seeing a blackface minstrel show as a kid in the late forties.
