Wisconsin Teacher Put on Administrative Leave After Asking Students How Would They 'Punish' Slaves – Your Black World


By Victor Omondi
After an insensitive assignment, asking students how they would “punish” a slave, teachers at a Wisconsin middle school were put on leave.
Parents of sixth graders at Patrick Marsh Middle School in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, took note of the assignment.  According to reports, the assignment on ancient Mesopotamia read, “A slave stands before you. This slave has disrespected his master by telling him, ‘You are not my master!’ How will you punish this slave?'”
And even more alarming was the answer that read: According to Hammurabi’s Code: Put to death.
Sun Prairie Area School District sent parents statements assuring them that they were investigating the incident. “We deeply regret that this lesson took place, and we also recognize that this was a breakdown in our curricular processes and our district-wide focus on equity. In addition to immediately addressing this situation, it is important that we commit to changing our curriculum and professional development for all staff,” the statement read.
