A state employee complained that the wife of embattled Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam reportedly handed the students cotton and asked them “if they could imagine what it must have been like to pick cotton all day.”
Leah Dozier Walker, an official in the state Department of Education, said that the incident demonstrates that the Northams have not learned from past actions.

Lucky some did not try to snort it.......
Yep.
and did she hand it to all the other students too? I bet so.
She is a Democrat so what is the problem?? I thought everyone knew that the Democrat Party was Always the Part of Slavery, see Civil War
I can just picture the scene around the Govs dinner table after his ‘real cool’ remarks inre abortion.
Wifey says....Eh Ralphie boy, I think you stepped in it on your abortion remarks, have to do something to take their minds off it.
Ralphie...I know! Lets get some old pictures out of my MedScho yearbook and release them.
Wifey...Good idea, and just to show ‘them’ you still respect them maybe do the moonwalk you are famous for.
Ralphie, great idea. Lets just do it, Fairfax & Herring need not know about it.
Lets ask Terry McAuliffe what he thinks...
What was the context of the question? Was it a discussion of pre-Civil War history? Or did it just pop out when she saw some black kids?
“It’s a good educational thing, and kids should understand what they were doing.”
That’s true enough, but what’s being reported is that these were a group of former pages and she only handed this cotton and posed the question about being slaves to the 3 black kids that were part of the group.
If you’re trying to beat back accusations that your husband is a racist, maybe this wasn’t such a smart idea, this woman must really be as thick as a brick.
Well, blacks today are on the Democrat party plantation.
Well, blacks today are on the Democrat party plantation.
My father put in a big Victory Garden in our large yard in 1943 when I was 5 and we had it until I was 16. I used to hate having to work on weekends with him when all my playmates were having fun. On the other hand when we had surplus zuchinni, tomatoes, and other items, he would let me sell them and keep the money. Black children among other not college bound students no longer have access to the non-college prep courses that actually prepared you to do something useful like fix cars, build things, cook, sew, etc. Then we wonder why illegals come here looking for the work that our students have not learned how to do.
Spare me the false outrage.She was just pointing out the hardships for slaves working the fields This is not even a slight This race baiting Dept of Education drama queen has decided that only black folk today who never were slaves are the only people who are allowed to talk about its hardships.
Apparently the progs are all ginned up over something they don’t cotton to.
Of course. Democrats are a bunch of racists.

How apropos... NOT!
Clueless? Out of touch? Tin ear? Tone deaf?
Which one applies to VA’s First lady?
Polyester for all.
It could’ve been worse.
She could have had them put on costumes and imagine riding in the Kentucky Derby.
