Do your proper research and find out why the Underground Railroad was needed?
What principal would sanction this ridiculous lesson plan? What superintendent has the oversight? Parents need to get involved.
OMG
Do we have a separate committee or organization that will accept all the apologies? I think we need one.
Am I going to have to move out of Virginia soon? It seems every week we revert to “Old Virginny”
Those people are so sensitive.
It’s a shame I go to the school RIGHT next to Madison’s trust.
Why is it culturally insensitive to replicate a network of people that helped free countless slaves? The Underground Railroad was a good thing in a bad time. To view it otherwise is ignorant.
Next month’s school activity: escaping Auschwitz
How is this offensive. It seems like a good history lesson to teach the kids what kind of ordeals people went through.
Is there anything these days that isn't offensive to some people? I mean get over yourselves.
YNB What's going on in our schools. More shenanigan redoblackhistorymonthforreal
Feels like a learning tool that kids should understand when considering slavery
But why It is a part of history. It is important to understand history so it is not repeated. Not talking about something doesn’t make it go away.
This is why the nation is filled with apologist, wussies !
similar to the mockery of the “Indian chop” &”war chants” at baseball&football games. This nation makes cartoons & mockery of struggle &teach our young that it is ok. Play “cowboys and Indians” &“runaway slave”then are surprised there are people wearing & defending blackface.
That’s how the blacks were saved by Canada 😉🤗
The political correct crap is really getting ridiculous anymore
Just think, if the current KKK baby killing governor we're in office when these kids were born, half of them might not be here.
Why wouldn’t we want kids to be reminded of the risk people took to get slaves to the north?
What’s next, is red rover going to be insensitive to Native Americans. 🤷🏽♂️
For god’s sake come on!
What the hell is wrong with the adults at this fkn school?
Uhm, the Underground Railroad was a good thing and the people using it were brave. I don’t see the problem. Putting yourself in their position might teach you something. I mean maybe making it a game trivializes it. I dunno
Why the hell people are politicizing it? Nothing wrong in teaching kids the hardships our great African American forefathers went through.
If this was a lesson for underground like counties of europe in fighting ww2 that might be usefull for unity to stand as all Americans...not individual nationality...what happened to AMERICAN MONTH
Gave the students an understanding of what others went through in the past.
And this is a problem why? Too many overly sensitive people out there nowadays.
We are talking about Virginia
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
WOW
'It said an African-American student was designated as a slave for the activity, citing Loudoun NAACP Chapter President Michelle Thomas, who said she's received several complaints from parents.' OOF!
Its part of history, learn it and learn from it.
No, you must not offend the left they will cry
The hits just keep coming in VA
This is what happens when you prepare the lesson plan with friends at a bar. The night before.
I will never go to Virginia
A well know actor faked a lynching and beat himself up in the name of slavery because of his Trump derangement syndrome. How about reporting on that CNN?
Virginia!! Yall don't know how to act
Who are these people?
next, we need to outlaw 'Cowboys and Indians'. not sure about 'Cops and robbers', probably need to outlaw it too, because teaches kids to be robbers. SOMETIMES GAME IS JUST A GAME. Slavery was part of human evolution development, it's not just an AMERICAN thing. CommonSense
Uhhh that shit happened though. Ok kids it's insensitive to teach you about slavery because it might be offensive... so just pretend it didn't happen
Speaking of Virginia, why is the Governor, Lt. Governor, and AG still given a pass? Why no media coverage? Where is the outrage and multitudes of women banging on the door of the Richmond capitol like they did the Supreme Court? democratdoublestandard
WHO COMES UP WITH THIS SHYT?!!!!!!
Ya why teach them history that would be stupid. What a dam joke if your offended by that then we need to deport you. If you don't like our history an want to forget or change it then move to Mexico Russia Africa don't care you'll like it better there. OR grow up u child.
Democrats and Liberals:... Why we can't have anything nice anymore in our Country.
I think someone needs to Control+Alt+Delete Virginia...Seems to be infected with some nasty Malware
Leave it to CNN to find every non story and create one.
Geez thats poor judgment
You should see what they make the kids wear on pajama day.
QUESTION: 'Whatever became of Freedom of Expression in this country?' ANSWER: ''Political-correctness' and bald-faced 'race-fascism'.'
Crawling on hands and knees shall now be illegal. Jail time for students= 20 yrs.
Sounds like some group of people are trying to sow racial divisions. Blacks and Whites need to stick together against a common enemy. The real enemy of all of us.
We keep getting dumber- seriously in VA? Don’t they have enough trouble in that state?
Slick racism

Teachers are not even allowed to teach history anymore without people screaming. Ridiculous!
I just don't get some of the things that still go on today. The idea alone should have been a flag. The deeper issue would be way the teacher even thought this was a good idea or fun.
What exactly was wrong with this? It could be a reasonable idea if done properly.
It's hard to understand how people -- EDUCATORS -- can fail to recognize such blatant insensitivity until someone points it out to them.
Meanwhile- Northam is still their Governor, Fairfax is still their Lt Gov and Herring is still their AG.
Our culture has become WAY TOO PC. This is honestly out of control. Everybody is “offended” and being a victim is somehow something cool. We walk on egg shells but still somehow end up “offending” others.
Virginia is a blue state.
That actually sounds educational, to help students understand what others went through.
STOP !! Why is everyone always apologizing are we all really that damn sensitive
what idiotic teachers think this stuff is a good idea? hey, let's perp walk and sit in an electric chair as a game! let's chase each other around for domestic abuse round robin......let's pretend a man with a gun is coming in and hide (oh never mind)
Virginia... Why?
This is not insensitive. It is designed to increase sensitivity. We have to stop letting these cultural Brownshirts control everything with their endless outrage.
next week we'll have the trail of tears reenactment and then the holocaust walk through.
An apology doesn’t excuse the underlying, unchanged attitude of these communities.
I'm guessing they were just following the curriculum of the blackface Democrat Governor.
What's really going on in Virginia ? Racism
Why? The Underground Railroad was the opposite of slavery, it was a method that people used to help slavea flee to the North. SJW culture is stupid.
Why are we apologizing for this when it’s something that teaches culture?
Wait, did they think it was a literal underground railroad and they had students crawling?
Jeepers did the kids survive? What's the bodycount? Oh, wait, they were just pretending and simultaneously learning about a historical time period? Let me guess, it offended someone so it's racist?
Lol are we getting to the point where black history month is cancelled because celebrating it in any way will be racist.
The Commonwealth is not doing well with race relations these days. I'm not moving, I'm going to continue to be part of the solution. Virginia is my home.
The apologies are getting old. Things like this are being purposely done and enough is enough
