A family in Washington is demanding that a school administrator be removed after he suggested he could segregate 2 Black middle school students who were directed to clean freshly picked cotton as part of a classroom assignment, according to lawyers.

The twins said their social studies teacher took out a box of raw cotton and told the class they were going to see who could clean cotton the fastest.SPOKANE, Wash. — A family in Spokane, Washington, is demanding that a school administrator be removed after he suggested he could segregate two Black middle school students who were directed to clean freshly picked cotton as part of a classroom assignment, according to lawyers for the family.

“As two of the only three Black students in the class that day, my daughters already felt singled out during an activity that required them to clean cotton,” Brandi Feazell said. “Separating them from the rest of the class would only compound their pain and isolation and do nothing to change the racist culture and policies that led to this inappropriate and harmful lesson in the first place.”

“Once the third-party investigation is completed, we look forward to coming back to share the outcomes,” the district said.On May 3, the twins said their fifth-period social studies teacher took out a box of raw cotton and told the class they were going to see who could clean cotton the fastest.

Every student in that class and the teacher should have had cotton and performed the required task for that project! That district should stop being complicit and mandate that everybody in that class to include that teacher and that administrator perform that particular task!

Slavery exists in this world in 2021?It may be a good class project to work with missionaries who are making a difference?In America illegal immigration has led to new forms of slavery?Be awakened, for we live in critical times and deception is rampant.Jesus Christ is the answer?

I wonder how many parents treat their kids like they own them instead of they gave them a life. There are parents that bring a new life into the world for the right reasons some for the wrong reasons.

No point trying to make them happy, they will always complain about something.

And you say, these were 2nd graders?

Next lesson Do they know nuthin' 'bout bitthin' no babies?

Jesus!! Can we all just settle down a bit…!!!! Kids don’t remember details as much as they remember grown-ups acting badly and getting all worked up!!

I wish I was a lawyer. Man these racist people never stop

That is really effed up.

Who is approving these lesson plans?

The life we are today or the stages we are living today are the results of the actions we took yesterday and today's actions will set your future free if you interested Dm robert_btc1
