A teacher should not do that to any child.

My guess is what just for demo purposes, kinda like blind folding kids say can know what it's like to be blind. if it was a black teacher I doubt it would have made the news.

I agree. But at the very least, if the object lesson is deemed absolutely necessary, the teacher should have asked for volunteers regardless of race.

Does it bother you as a black man? And what era did you grow up in?

Good point, my thought is if she just grapped two black students, even if harmless intent, she opened herself for it. some do carry the race issues on their shoulders, so you got to be careful. explaining to the class the lesson and waht gonna happen and ask for volunteers would have been best.

BTW none of us were there to know the teacher, she may be a great teacher with not racial junk but just went about a lesson the wrong way, maybe.

You may be right, and I guess maybe it doesn't really bother folks as much anymore. I understand getting a point across to kids now is different, than it was when I was growing up.
