'How will you punish this slave' assignment prompts teachers' resignation

Three teachers have resigned from a Wisconsin middle school over an assignment that asked sixth graders how they would punish slaves.

The teachers at Patrick Marsh Middle School in Sun Prairie were placed on administrative leave after a parent complained about the assignment on February 1—the first day of Black History Month. The teachers had collaborated on a social studies lesson on ancient Mesopotamia that included"highly offensive" questions, according to a third-party investigative report that was ordered by the Sun Prairie Area School District.One of the questions was:"A slave stands before you.

"None of the three teachers could recall exactly how this lesson was developed but they all acknowledged that it appeared to be identical to a lesson that was available on a website known as Teachers Pay Teachers," the report said.
