    Are you freaking serious! I don't see anything racist about it. I see it as a HISTORY lesson! :yes2557: It's a #### shame we can't teach history anymore!

    Not knowing the racial breakdown of the students...the teacher should have used 2 white students (if there are any in the class) then nobody would have anything to complain about ya know like nobody complains that white people do NOT have the United White College Fund but they can have the United Negro College Fund and advertise it on TV.......history is history and the teacher should NOT be removed from the class like the mom wants...just another case of things being blown way otta perportion by certain groups.

    HEY! I'm upset about Samuel Jackson chaining up a half-naked white girl in the movie "Black Snake Moan". But I'm white, so does anybody care?

    And I'm black and stuff like that doesn't offend me if used for educational purposes as in a history class.

    I really don't think this issue is about race at all. But I do think it is about a very dumb move on the part of the teacher. You don't take someone and tie them up hand a foot. You just DON'T DO THAT!

    At least you don't unless you are either into some type of S&M kinky sex, or criminal activity. This has no place in the school. I think this teacher has shown a lack of common sense, and should be subjected to some type of discipline.
