PITTSFORD, N.Y. (WHEC) Tuesday, the Pittsford Central School District pulled a worksheet the district says was used in one 4th grade class on one day in January.
The district shared a photo of the worksheet. It talks about the slaves trip to America and that they agreed to work for colonialists.
Pittsford Superintendent Michael Pero says a parent alerted his office to this lesson plan Tuesday. The worksheet was in no way an accurate depiction of slavery during Colonial Times and was highly insensitive in tone, Pero said in a statement. We immediately met with the staff members involved in this lesson and have taken steps to remedy the situation.
