I’ve seen a lot of weird stuff in my time, but this….this is different.
A Tennessee school district is under fire for one of their teachers assigning homework of the racist kind. This homework had students go home and have their families pretend that they owned slaves. Then they had to make expectations for the pretend slaves that they owned.
I’ve lived in Tennessee all my life and know that this area hasn’t been too kind to me. But to see a teacher assign this type of homework to 8th grade students? Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.
The school district pulled the assignment and it won’t be graded.
