Making a thread that's just a link is a dick move.

"The Carroll School field experience is a unique learning opportunity for all 5th-grade students in Rock Hill Schools’ elementary schools," Rock Hill Schools said in a statement provided to Fox News. "Students have been visiting the Carroll School for the past fifteen years as a part of studying the Great Depression in the school curriculum.

"The song that is sung by the students as they participate in picking cotton, as it was done in the Great Depression time period, was originally written by an African-American instructor who currently works with students at the Carroll School. He did not intend it to sound like, or in any way be a 'slave song' as it has been characterized. The lyrics came from his experience as an African-American farmer picking cotton and making money for his family in the Great Depression time period.

A Brambleton Ashburn Loudoun County Public School just had a similar incident.

They made some black kid be the runaway slave in some PE game.

a little misguided attempt to engage students.

Heres another insane idea

At least one school did it without parental or student notice - i cant remember where - and terrorized children
