Parents: White Teacher Should Not Teach Black History
NewsNet5 Cleveland/Akron ^ | July 27, 2003

OBERLIN, Ohio -- A group of parents said they will fight a possible decision to allow a white teacher to lead classes in black history at Oberlin High School.

NewsChannel5 reported that the parents said using a white teacher would send the wrong message to black students.

A scheduling conflict could cause the district to reassign the black teacher who has taught the course for seven years.

The parents have protested the move to the school board, but the district's superintendent has not commented on the case.

Welcome to the forum. There's really no need to yell here. We're a much quieter crowd than some of the sites you may have visited.

To say that only a black can teach black history...is like saying that only Greeks can teach Greek history. This is one the most stuipid arguments that can be made on this subject. This really demonstrates the type of forum that black history really has behind it.

(Quoting the article)"How do you work through that when the person teaching it is the same type of person who did the enslaving?"

The vast majority of enslavers were men. Therefore men can't teach black history.

Most enslavers were (nominally) religious. Therefore the religious can't teach black history.

Most enslavers were heterosexual.

Most enslavers were able-bodied.

Clearly, therefore, only disabled black Lesbian atheists can teach black history. Gee, I hope that doesn't mean there's a shortage of teachers.
