http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/03/04/ohio-school-sorry-making-black-student-slave/ ... GAHANNA, Ohio — The mother of a black Ohio fifth grader assigned to play a slave for a social studies lesson says the school should be more sensitive.

Principal Scott Schmidt of Chapelfield Elementary in Gahanna called Aneka Burton to apologize for what happened to her son, Nikko, on Wednesday. Columbus station WBNS-TV reports Schmidt said no harm was intended.

Ten-year-old Nikko says the class was randomly divided into "masters" and "slaves" and that the only other black student got to be a master. Burton says her son refused to take part in a simulated slave auction and was sent back to his desk.

Burton says she appreciates the apology, but the exercise was inappropriate.

The school district said in a statement Thursday that officials acted promptly once the concern was raised.

Pay attention! The black kid that was given the "master" position had no problem and did not refuse to participate.

And 50 years for now the American government will apologize for allowing the Zionist to treat the Palestinians as they did........did you notice that I didn't say the "Zionist?".

I doubt it would make the njews if a white child would refuse to be slave, the reality is that most people agree to be slaves in real life! Imagine if that changed!
