The teacher did nothing wrong here. She created a visual example of it. It's part of our history.
Most of the biggest moments of history has never been "age-appropriate". If you wanna paint a clearer picture, don't downplay it
So some Black people support it, so it has to come down? Is that the issue? Was it too scary for pale folks?
Personally, I believe those segregated entrances should remain so people can experience them and see why Jim Crow should never happen again. Removing those doors removes the "experience" of racial segregation. If they can't experience it first hand, they may never know how horrible racial segregation was.
wow this is just WRONG. stop teaching CRT!!!!!!!
Should move it somewhere else. I say keep it reminder don't forget
Get over it.
It’s a high school. I’m pretty sure they have done and said more offensive things in the hallway.
History, what’s wrong with learning about history? It’s not like America is the only place with a bad history. Most places have a bad history. If we don’t know what happened in the past, would you prefer to live that again? I don’t want too. Not the History of any country. Which is why history is so important. We learn from the past’s mistakes so we don’t repeat them in the future. Seem to be failing, since half of America wants a civil war. Actually America hasn’t even learned from the present, with wanting a Church Run Country. It Doesn’t Work. If you want to preach or be close to God go to church. If you want to run a country, with multiple generations and languages and nationalities, you best leave your religion outside, if you can’t do that, then being a member of the government is not for you.

On one hand, it's good folks were so upset, but it hasn't been THAT long ago this WAS a reality for millions, in most states AND people died resisting these realities, back in the day.
It certainly is a goal for DeSatan and his followers in Florida when they can figure out how to do this, so…people need to be prepared.
At least she isn't fired. We can only read about stuff like this, if not even that. So, something visual is going to send many schools into panic mode.
That's crazy
Why would I send my kids to public schools? It's all indoctrination.
That is BOLD.
In Canada the government has to teach what happened to the Native people instead of sweeping it under the rug
Everyone is too scared these days, culture warriors on both sides need to calm tf down
Why do schools try to hide history. It happened and if individuals don't learn from it then it will be repeated. I believe the Teacher was right in how he or she is trying to teach this issue. I like the head on approach. Kids need more of that today.
My dad told me about his childhood and how while vacationing in Florida during the 1950s there were signs that said "No Dogs and Jews allowed" Even my home state of Oregon had similar signs during the 20s and 30s!!
Title and first 10 seconds scared me, ngl
I think this is clever and accurate, but it could be embarrassing for some of the students. That embarrassment could go both ways and is not a bad thing for students to feel different emotions because of this
Ruby Bridges is still alive today. It wasn't that long ago when she was one of the firsts students to enter a school during the desegregation time in New Orleans.
