I don't understand why posters are criticizing the lawsuit. It seems totally legitimate and grounded. I wouldn't want such an Underground Railroad exercise in any school! It's just as bad as the slave auctions some southern school was accused of having!

These schools are trying to teach black history. Regardless of how it is taught someone will object.

I think suing every time you don't like a lesson plan is not productive.[/quote]

Did you read the article? Are you actually defending that 4th graders should all act like runaway slaves in dark corridors, while teachers try to catch them?

This is NOT teaching history, of any kind. I thought the rules were self-evident. No blackface, no telling students to act as slaves. What kind of idiot doesn't know this?

Come on, people. This school could have averted a lawsuit and negative publicity by changing their insensitive curriculum, as well as other things the parents complained about. The correct procedure would have been asking all the parents of the school to give their opinions, to give everyone the feeling they'd been heard. Instead, they expelled the innocent children of the complainers. Bad, bad move, because in education, negative publicity deters families from applying.
