No Way To Teach (Updated) 0
Once again, a Georgia school comes up with the wrong way to address slavery in school. This time it was in Gwinnet County, a wealthy suburb north of Atlanta.
Ericka Lasley told Channel 2 that her 8-year-old daughter said she was a slave and other students were slave catchers during a game similar to tag. The third-grade student said the teacher proposed the game based on what the class is learning.
“She would sit on the bench and the slave catchers would come up to the door and ask did she have any slaves,” the girl said.
Addendum, Later That Same Day:
ABL explains what should have happened:
TOMMY: Hey you wanna play slave/slave catcher?
SUZIE: Gee ok.
TEACHER: ::blows whistle:: HEY! KNOCK IT OFF!
