Picture showing North Central High School lesson draws controversy

INDIANAPOLIS — Written in black marker across a teacher's white board, different variations and meanings of what many would consider a racial slur.. He said the picture was taken during his English class.

Brown, who is 17 years old, said his class was reading"Sweat," a short story by Zora Neale Hurston from the early 1900s. He said his English teacher had students read paragraphs aloud and then discuss certain words that may sound or have different meanings today. Brown went over the day's lesson at the dinner table with his big sister, Jamice Wilson, giving her context to the picture she saw floating around.

13News reached out to the teacher for an interview to learn more about Friday's class discussion, but we never heard back.
