I really don't think anyone that has not lived through that era, black or white, can really understand what it was like. Seriously the difference was felt as soon as you crossed the Louisiana/Mississippi line. I was a child but I remember what it felt like.

and as long as there's a devil and flesh there will always be some junk, but that's were we come in, when they see white, really white, black, black black, browns, and so on serving God together in brotherly love.
Amen.

Aldridge said he feared that the teacher still "didn't get it" after their meeting. He said the teacher apologized "because Gabrielle was upset, not because she admitted she did something wrong."
For the teacher, Principal, and even County to act like nothing "occurred" with this teacher's actions would be quite insulting.
The teacher should simply be reassigned, upon admission that she exercised very poor judgment. I don't think anyone would argue that she had malicious intent, UNLESS she REFUSES to acknowledge just how wrong this was.
If this teacher refuses to properly "woman up" to her poor judgment, then it is as if she doesn't know that what she did was wrong. I would demand her resignation at that point.
The teacher's actions or inaction will determine, imo, if the parents sue the school system over this. I think the teacher still has time to nip this in the bud, but not much.

I do not agree with her methods but I also know that some people look for reasons to get upset and things to fuss about also.
That may be true, but if your child is bound against her will and made to get under her desk in front of her classmates to play the role of a slave against her will...you don't have to look too hard for reasons.
