Three teachers have been suspended from their jobs at Wadsworth Avenue Elementary School in Los Angeles after giving their kids photos of the controversial African American celebrities to hold during the school’s Black History Month parade, while other teachers used more traditional photos. According to ABC News:
District Superintendent Ramon Cortines placed the teachers — all white men who teach first, second and fourth grades — on administrative leave on Tuesday while an investigation is conducted, Pollard-Terry said. “The superintendent will not let anyone make a mockery out of Black History Month,” she said.
“These are not the people we want our young people to emulate or believe these people represent the best of the African-American community. It’s hard for the NAACP to believe this was a mistake,” said President Leon Jenkins.
What do you think??? Did the teachers go tooo far or is everyone just acting like big kids..
