Title: Sell Them Boys at the Highest Price! Post by: Howey on April 13, 2011, 06:20:37 pm How much is that little black boy in the window? (http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/04/virginia_teacher_mock_auctions_black_students_to_t.php) Quote A fourth grade teacher in Norfolk, Virginia is in trouble for getting a bit too real in a lesson on the Civil War, in which she held a mock auction of black students while letting the white students bid on them. On April 1st, Jessica Boyle separated students in her class and put the black and mixed race students up for sale, according to WVEC News, apparently in a well intentioned, but ill-advised attempt to demonstrate the injustices of the slave era. |
