Newser – Parents at a New Jersey school are outraged after white students held a reenactment of a slave auction of a black child during class, the AP reports. A spokesperson for the South Orange Maplewood school district outside New York says the assignment was not authorized by the district. Spokesperson Suzanne Turner says a substitute teacher was in charge of the class at the time. She says the district is looking into training and improved supervisory protocols for substitute teachers.
The mock slave auction happened in the same district where students created posters for slave auctions as part of a curriculum about the colonial era. Superintendent John Ramos said at a board meeting Monday night that there was no intent to be demeaning in either assignment.
!snip!
It’d been better if they’d of dressed like
deomocrats with their white pointy headed hats
and robes.
Missed a good chance there!
Should have sold a white kid
Then it would have been just fine
Gee Wally, you’d think Slavery ended in 1963, not 1863!
It worse than that Beave! They’re gettin some of them to think their 45 year old Great Grandpa WAS a slave!
So what was the high bid?
Some dumbass teacher telling them that man made global warming is real would be something to be pissed about.
“How much for the leetle girl?”

The teacher was black. Of this I am certain. And we will never hear of this incident again until the next black NJ “educator” has another brilliant idea for picking the scab of slavery. Whereupon it will be progsplained that “there was no intent to be demeaning in the assignment.”
The teacher should have held an auction of Africans selling their own people into slavery to Muslims! Probably that is still happening!

But it would have been ahistorical. This was in a school, after all. And white(ish) kids have historically been expected to pay for their enslavement.
Next week they are selling steamer passage to Liberia on the Black Star Line.
That would be a coal streamer, yes?
There was indeed an attempt at demeaning
And the victim was Colonial America
