‘Hangman’ at Middle School
Published: 2/19/2021 4:30:32 PM
As children, many of us played the spelling game hangman. It seemed innocent enough then, but a clearer look at this seemingly innocuous sketch of a lynching reveals how racism is buried so deeply in our consciousness.
Recently, a teacher at the Greenfield Middle School led a classroom in the game of hangman. The words to be spelled, under the image of a lynching, were Black Lives Matter. The teacher called on a child of color to read the words. The shaming, humiliation and threatening of children of color in their classroom is unacceptable.
