A teacher at a Long Island middle school is under investigation for allegedly telling students to write a 'funny' caption underneath photos of slavery.
A Long Island middle school teacher is currently under investigation after allegedly assigning students to come up with captions under pictures of slavery and to"write something funny."
Darlene McCurty's granddaughter, who was not part of the class but had friends who were in the classroom, shared photos with her grandmother that had handwritten captions such as,"Black girls work hard play hard";"Us black people need to get out"; and"Getting that money." According to McCurty, the eighth-grade teacher is “white.”
The district shared the following statement from Freeport Public Schools' Superintendent, Kishore Kuncham:"I have been informed that during a recent eighth grade Reconstruction Era social studies lesson at J.W. Dodd Middle School, a faculty member is reported to have used directions to describe an assignment that were very upsetting to some students and families.”
