A group of suburban Madison, Wisconsin, middle school teachers are on leave after giving students an assignment that asked them how they would “punish” a slave.
“Our intent missed the mark, and for that we are deeply sorry,” the statement said. “Going forward we will be sure to think critically about whether our intent matches our impact.” “We deeply regret that this lesson took place, and we also recognize that this was a breakdown in our curricular processes and our district-wide focus on equity,” the district statement said. “In addition to immediately addressing this situation, it is important that we commit to changing our curriculum and professional development for all staff.”that she was “shocked” at what she saw, noting the incident occured on the first day of Black History Month.
Ancient Mesopotamia is often referred to as the birth of civilization, as the society sparked a number of cultural norms seen today such as organization of cities and agriculture. Mesopotamia spread across what is known today as the Middle East, between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers., the set of laws being taught to the Patrick Marsh sixth graders, included a number of laws on punishments, which included the concept of “an eye for an eye.
NBCBLK I'm surprised they didn't just pass around the church collection basket for Kyle.
NBCBLK Very much part of the overall American system of racism - brainwashing children whilst they are still young, at home and at school. Much the same as the Nazi nationalists did.
NBCBLK Did they take their white capes too?
NBCBLK Shame on those teachers.

NBCBLK As a bare minimum, the students should have now learned how to punish stupidity in the workplace.
NBCBLK On leave? They need to get out of the business of educating period
NBCBLK Very few of these commenters read the article. FYI It's about laws in Mesopotamia. It's still awful as hell that a group of teachers asked 5th grade students how a slave should be punished. I don't understand how educated people could miss the abhorrent wording of the question.
NBCBLK WTF? That's soooooo Wisconsin.
eki123 NBCBLK I really don’t know what country or century I’m in💔
NBCBLK They should be Fired
NBCBLK The bar is set so low for teachers, cops and members of congress. We need to elevate minimum job requirements to a masters degree that includes several hours in African American history for these positions. These teachers should be fired immediately.
NBCBLK
NBCBLK Perhaps they were trying to show the slave owner's perspective and overstepped the line. It is not possible to internalize certain visions, even if they are part of the history. Teaching ethical values is not like watching a movie.
NBCBLK What is going on in our schools?
NBCBLK What in the entire fuck ?
NBCBLK Public scorn for these middle school teachers it’s the most efficient method in addition to be removed from teaching
NBCBLK More of this stirring up racial tensions crap, huh? Smh
NBCBLK 'on leave' is simply not the answer or good enough, these people must be removed from education and teaching, while people who have responsibilities for the management of education need to establish how and why this could even happen

NBCBLK They would have been put up for “Teacher of the Year” had they asked the students how they would punish anyone with white privilege....
NBCBLK Some people are so F stupid & ignorant that make you wonder
NBCBLK Despicable. And you call yourselves educators. What an insult to the profession.
NBCBLK Sounds about Qwhite
NBCBLK A group of teachers? More than one person thought this was a good idea?

NBCBLK
NBCBLK Jesus! It's 21st century and these fuckwits still talking about slavery, to all racist white people, when will you get over it that you'll never in a million years own ONOTHER SLAVE?( EXCLUDING THE JUSTICE SYSTEMS WHICH STILL ENSLAVES PEOPLE OF COLOR IN A HUSHER TONE) wake TFU.
NBCBLK Really NBC? Keep pushing the racist victimhood narrative. If you have to talk about slavery and skin color all the time, you might just be a racist.
NBCBLK How to punish a slave? Make them live in Wisconsin

NBCBLK we want the list and their identities... for terrorist watch at least in canada. the usa love those, we don’t don’t like black people/asian/american Indian
