A fourth-grade teacher in a northern New York school district has been placed on administrative leave after being accused of having White students bid on Black classmates during a mock slave auction.
The mother of one of the Black students tells WWNY the incident happened recently at North Elementary School in the Watertown City School District.
A statement from the school district said the teacher had been placed on leave during a district investigation launched after parents complained she had “exercised poor judgment in teaching a recent lesson.”
A fifth-grade teacher at a private school in Westchester County was fired in March after parents complained she held mock “slave auctions.” The Chapel School in Bronxville agreed to hire a diversity officer after the state attorney general’s office investigated.
