Black students were allegedly "sold" at a mock "slave auction" by their white classmates at a North Carolina school.

"Our son experienced a slave auction by his classmates and when he opened up we were made aware that this type of stuff seems to be the norm so much that he didn’t think it was worth sharing," Palmer wrote. "His friend ‘went for $350’ and another student was the Slavemaster because he ‘knew how to handle them.' We even have a video of students harmonizing the N word.

The superintendent also apologized for the incident and ordered changes to prevent similar activities from happening again. On Tuesday Palmer posted a follow-up stating: "The overwhelming community support and willingness of CCS leadership helped pass policies last night that were a great step in the right direction to help aid in the accountability required in our schools."In 2017, parents at a New Jersey school were outraged afterA spokeswoman for the South Orange Maplewood school district blamed a substitute teacher who was in charge of the class at the time.

They ran out of gas in a few hours, but plan to do this again soon. Still listing gas prices to the 9/10th of a penny right? No way we can stop doing that? Anyone else care about the tenth of a penny? American stupidity-right there, the 9/10ths of a penny in the price of gas. It could be 10k a gallon, and it will still real 10k and 9/10ths.

Several predominantly Black local school districts significantly lack Black men educatorsInside Kenneth Clement Boys’ Leadership Academy on Cleveland’s east side, you’ll find two teachers whose life experiences are parallel. Sounds like you need to bus some whites and browns in… Unfortunately the lack of POC in education is a nationwide issue. And I imagine it's gonna be an uphill battle trying to recruit anyone into a field that's being villified the way teachers are right now. Especially Black people whose history is being erased from the curriculum. Maybe they should make working for CMSD more inviting by paying the teachers what they're worth
