A Georgia school’s Civil War dress-up class activity that taught students about the history of that era has come to an end. Apparently some of the parents became upset and misunderstood the learning objectives.
Big Shanty Elementary School in Kennesaw, Georgia has ended its “Civil War day” after parents and others reacted with outrage.
The mother of a 10-year-old black boy told a reporter that a classmate dressed as a plantation slave owner approached her son and told him “You are my slave.”
In a letter to the fifth grade parents, a Cobb County assistant superintendent said the student dress-up activities related to the Civil War will end, effective immediately.
Big Shanty Elementary is located about 25 miles northwest of Atlanta.

This is ridiculous, somebody should’ve ended that practice a long time ago! Smh
Now this is that bullshit
LOL
Ain’t no way! LOL this is comical! Wtf is wrong with people. Yes, teach the history, but DAMN! Are there any kids dressing up as Nazis?! ? Hell NO!
The name says it all Big Shanty…
I’d need an interdistrict transfer.
There are other ways to teach the kids about slavery!!
photoshop if yall think a teacher is that out of her mind i feel sorry for you guys
Not shocked. Already happened here but on HS level. Do better.
That larger disease some argued is racism at East Chapel Hill High School fueled by the photo with two students waving confederate flags.
The caption read, “the South will rise.” Another student commented, “Already bought my first slave.”

This happened at a School in Boston not Georgia.
Right! I don’t see the depiction of the whites committing genocide, rape, theft, etc.
You would be wrong, a teacher in Boston did in fact allow this picture to be taken in her class. However the parents didn’t see any malicious intent. Just thought she was rather stupid.
Many whites for centuries has demonstrated being out of their minds!
The fact that American Black history continues to focus on slavery rather than teach about true black history is appalling! African-Americans come from Kings and Queens in Africa the birth place of mankind! Why is this not taught in the American public school system? Unless you actually take a black history class you would never know that every human on earth originated from an African man more than 1 billion years ago. That 1 African man migrated to other parts of the world and thus you get Asians (they are the 2nd oldest humans), then the African man wen to Europe and you got Caucasians. It’s funny how America wants to only focus on slavery to make blacks feel inferior! I tell 1 thing because I have educated myself on World history no person can make me feel inferior for being black. Due to the facts that my ancestors were the first humans on earth, we come from wealth, queens and kings and I detest schools only focusing on slavery vs. a complete history of African-Americans.
Exactly LOL. Let’s talk about dat Big Shanty. And wth is up with that name?! Sounds racist as hell LOL. I can’t ?
Black parents are always so happy and bragging about sending their child to a white school. Can’t wait to see how they are gonna dress up at Halloween. I am trying to figure how do you a parent sign a note for permission for your child to be a slave. How do you go outfit hunting and be happy your child is dressing as a slave. I guess mom was thinking this is the way her baby can get into acting.
I wanna see it but I can’t.
Because that is not The American History. If you want your kid to have a well rounded education especially in History you will have to do it yourself or pay for Private School, like I do.
Yeah, show us how Joe Kennedy made his generational wealth off prohibition which was against the law, didn’t go to jail and kept all his money.
I aint even read the article and don’t care too, if I ever saw mine on a leash I’m fucking up everything moving the kids, the teacher, the janitor errrybody
Especially trump!
Because if you tell a man he is King he will act as such, so they keep them slaves in more ways in one with this reminder of slavery.
Don’t forget he made money off of whores! Also show how he got a Lobotomy for his special needs daughter , only to leave her for dead! None of the family went to see her or even acknowledged her existence, told the younger kids she moved away!
You ain’t wrong for that!?
Racist Amerikkka!!!!
Is the little black girl dressed as a maid? Who thought this was OK???
That doesn’t fit the narrative of what America wants us to believe about ourselves. They want us to always play into this attitude of gratitude for how far we’ve come, and into their belief that they are entitled. Parents should be educating their kids in their home.
You are very accurate, thus the reason I educate my kids about history myself. Whatever the school says, I add my 2 cents so that my kids can have an accurate description of their history. Not 1 plagued with negativity about Africans (black is an American term), history that actually explains why slavery even started.
The black parents need thier asz kicked for this maid sh!!t!!
She’s a beautiful little princess you idiot parents!!!!
That’s because e walked with The Most HIGH at once.That’s why we were Kings and Queens.
That was important in the school we choose, for our boys. They Do a very good job with the history curriculum.
This picture was from a school in Boston. And they were doing a lesson on Pilgrims. The little girl volunteered for the exercise. She isn’t dressed like a slave or a maid, but a pilgrim and unfortunately the picture looks differently.
WTF is on the baby??/’…Couldnt be mine…Id F****d S**T up!!!…I play very little games especially about my child!…Crazy !!
She dosnt know any better…She’s a chils!…Just because she volunteered dosnt make it right!
Me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Indeed!!#This
read the article first..then comment. No one was a slave. The adults should have known that would not be a good look considering amerikka is not post racial. This image was taken out of context. It should have been captured first. To me..it is unacceptable tho no matter what
Wowzer! I guess they were trying to make America great again. Hmmm #GoingBackwards!
Reading the article and what I see is different. That sho ain’t no princess outfit.
Chile…?
“Apparently some of the parents became upset and misunderstood the learning objectives.”
Who misconstrued the “lesson SR? Please explain.
Yep her name was Rose and they showed on PRS the one photo that they had of her.
Let me give you the local article…real research because this one is half arsed..http://boston.cbslocal.com/2017/10/19/black-girl-on-leash-photo-bridgewater-plimoth-plantation/
And why is she on the floor & the others are not??? Folks need to wake up!
WELL THE lordt knows who to give what battles to because my understanding would be zero and azzes would be whopped he’s head would roll from the top down would want everybody John who though it wasn’t ok and would be suing!!! What you won’t do is sneak diss Andre ray and make a fool outta me or munch child !!
The picture is for illustrative purposes, hun.
I am looking at the direction of the rope.
I mean the story that goes along with this picture is just as racist though.
I am so sick of this shyt! America the beautiful, America the bullys. Racism is a form of bullying. Where is the outcry for that shyt!
Bye Felicia! Not even going to read comments. Just Bye.
Exactly with a damn leash!!!
Hotlanta, now I see it… Sandra used the wrong photo of a Boston incident….ugh, that is whack
http://boston.cbslocal.com/2017/10/19/black-girl-on-leash-photo-bridgewater-plimoth-plantation/
nie they no they need they ass stomped for having that li girl on the flo lk that smdh
The photo is of an incident that occurred in Boston, not Georgia. hmmm
http://boston.cbslocal.com/2017/10/19/black-girl-on-leash-photo-bridgewater-plimoth-plantation/
The teacher needed her ssa whipped. I wish a YT would put ropes on my child for any reason.
Fresh out of words for this world we live in.
So it’s 2017 and no one thought this was a problem before did black people just move into the neighborhood. And realized what was going on this should have been stopped a long time ago they could of did dress up as your favorite person in history not this mess they know this crap is wrong
I fucking screamed when I saw this picture! I would have fucked everyone up two, even the two little kids holding the leash! This is disgusting!
The photo is for illustrative purposes, hun.
The photo is for illustrative purposes, sweetie.
It’s confusing dear. But thank you.
LOLOLOLOL
Whyt people know they always be slick trying to get away with this type of shat. so many questions still….so this wasn’t the first time? there are no other black people that work at this school?
Now this teacher deserves her ass whooped. And little Timmy and Cindy would’ve had got smacked. And when they mama and papa came up to the school they would gotten smacked ass well!! ??
Law suits everywhere!
All I know is I would be in jail, if it were my kid. Illustrative purposes or not. I would’ve used that same rope/chain/string to beat the ish out that smiling azz pasty or whatever the real one was..
My 6 year old would have known better….
Some ppl are just plain stupid or some just play stuck on stupid
Ju was out for Columbus day can they outlaw that too….
Big Shanty is the actual name of the school? Seriously?? That sounds like somebody nickname I know from around the way on the cool..
Sooo many things wrong with this picture! Do those two caucasian kids really have what looks to be ropes tied around that little girl’s neck? And who dressed her like a slave? I KNOW her parents did NOT send her to school like this or approve of this nonsense. I do not want to believe that. And they’re all just smiling and laughing like it’s ok! WHY in 2017????
Ohhh… see that would have made more sense cause I was going AWF thinking that happened in GA, according to the story. Even still, it happening in Boston still didn’t make it right so my questions remain just not for GA. Thank you for clarifying though.
BUT… Let Trump tell it EVERYBODY NEEDS to be (practically forced) standing for the national anthem or we’re being “unpatriotic”. But s**t like this stands for patriotism. I’m guessing he’d approve?
Then burn the damn school to the damn ground ( preferably with that teacher locked inside),
I was wondering where Omarosa was these past coupla weeks because she has been keeping a low profile. Now we know.
I am just speaking on African history, which is also apart of African-American history. They still hate to admit that the ancient Egyptians were black and that’s who created the pyramids. They think we don’t realize Egypt is and always will be in Africa!
The world she be grateful that every human on earth’s origins start in Africa. Especially when the oldest bones ever found in an African cave were of an African man and the bones were 1 billion years old. The oldest Caucasian bones are only 40,000 years old. Asians are the 2nd oldest race their oldest bones found are about 100,000 years old.
I did not say they are still kings and queens today. Many black folk don’t even realize this and act a fool. hence the reason the stereotype of ghetto was started. But Africans and African-Americans definitely came from kings and queens.
I know right. The little black girl just sitting there smiling and feeling pretty good saying they like, they really like me. What she doesn’t realize is that they are laughing at her, not with her. That white girl on the right looks like she isn’t done. MediaTakeout had a picture of this grown as girl in college dressed up like a slave on Halloween with a pail of cotton last year and everything and she was smiling all around these white people. I was spent.
Yep I was looking at a travel channel and freaked out when the guide said we have now left Africa and we are going to Egypt. I was done.
Sandra why do you keep this up all day huh? It’s Friday.
Bail money always available. I definitely would have been beating some white folk ass if my kids attended this school. And the lesson learned today class is how massa will have to surgically remove my foot from their asses. Watch closely and understand the consequences of oppressing people for your personal benefit and gain. Take notes.
i agree 100
Birth of a Nation
Sandra tell the truth. It was for “clicking” purposes.
You and your “click bait” conspiracy theories.
That’s because American black history is ONLY about slaves. They don’t teach, don’t know, and couldn’t care less about African-American history.
“Apparently some of the parents became upset and misunderstood the learning objectives.”
This blog is the new Stormfront.
Do you hear me…I already saw myself sitting on death row waiting for lethal injection. Because I done clowned like that white bastard in Las Vegas.
That MF teacher should’ve known better…
KKKobb County… they are thick up there…
Yep. On Big Shanty Rd.
That picture – they playing right? Please TELL me the little black girl was photoshopped into the picture. She HAD to know better. SHE HAD to know how that picture looked. She was dry trolling.
What were the learning objectives that were misunderstood, exactly? What was this supposed to teach?
Woooow. Thanks for pointing that out. That’s flat out lying right there.
Forgot to add that above on the post. Wonder how the parents of those kids would feel if they came across this here, especially with the kids faces not blurred. SMH
NOTHING was misunderstood. Although the dress up was optional, the instructions were for the costumes to be as accurate as possible for those who did dress up. The 10 year did not dress but did go to school where a “friend”, who dressed as a plantation owner, called him his slave. The mom, who’s a close friend, took her fight public because the school said they wouldn’t guarantee that they would stop the dress up day so that no other child would be hurt emotionally. The Civil War is a part of the 5th grade curriculum but each school can choose how to teach it. To understand Kennesaw, Google Kennesaw and Wildman. Wildman’s shop is downtown Kennesaw across from the Confederate flag monument!
Who’s lying? I said the photo is for illustrative purposes.
I take offense to that. ?
Where is Omarosa? Haven’t seen her in a while.
Y’all would’ve did $hit…????????
Omarosa is on Kelly’s sht list. Read that Kelly has limited her access to the President, didn’t like the information she was passing along to him. There’s been talk that she’s on the way out.
Hope she didn’t think they would fire all those whites and leave her in place.
You might be right because she is usually sitting in the press White House briefings with Ms. Piggy excuse me Sarah. I didn’t see her there yesterday when Kelly was lying on Rep. Wilson. April Ryan busted her when she exposed that she doesn’t have a White House office. She is in another building and sharing an office with other staffers. I was like such tea spilled and I was loving it.
What exactly was the misunderstood lesson?
O yeah, her and April almost came to blows. She tried to lie on April and was called out.
wow… That’s F*cked up. The teacher should be fired
It should’ve have started to begin with. I can understand children not having common sense, but the adults are setting a poor example of having any. Who approved of this nonsense?
Yeah she said that on Angela Rye’s podcast it was funny as all outdoors when she said that she was selling cellphones before she got hired by Dump.
Public schools are propaganda factories.
Self-hatred
Glad my kids never attend public schools. I’d had to be kicking some white people’s asses. They love testing People. And we need to teach our kids history and common sense.
Sandra is clearly not a woman of color and is pretending to be one while she disparages black women and men on this site, I don’t understand how people don’t see it.
I don’t understand why you come to this site if that was what you think
If they truly thought this was a stormfront blog then why would they troll here?
Slavery is always a very uncomfortable topic to discuss in school. I wouldn’t want my child dressing up either. And why is that black girl on the floor dressed as a slave. Hell Naw!! White people make you go off.
The mother was right. This is some ridiculous racist crap.
African American history for American blacks is slavery. Why would American schools be teaching you African history?…they don’t teach world history as a standard ….this is America, American history. I see what your trying to say but it makes no sense. The info is also available for everyone, just as you have gone out to get, so should others and not wait to brought your uprising.
The school created the confusion it got
He should have responded, I’m Nat Turner!!
Common sense…hmm…you mean like not making general statements about public schools when you’ve not been to every public school
And your opinion is unfounded and rooted in bias. This is not every public school
This school was wrong, but the people attacking public schools are wrong. Y’all are so narrow-minded that you criticize an entire entity when only one place is having this issue.
Private schools have issues as well, probably more. For those of you home schooling that isn’t perfect either. Public school is not represented in this picture or this issue
sometime i get so tired of your ass… I swear. But i can’t stop myself from coming here. I’ve been checking this place for years so…
America is so damn proud of their disgusting history! And then things like this happen…https://youtu.be/i4JcA2lPC1I
This is a kid, how could she know better, if she hadn’t been taught about Black History?
I was referring to the teacher. I have edited for clarification.
You are naive and gullible if you think this is an isolated occurrence.
The most hateful of all races of people are the most vile in every way imaginable. They’ve always shown us symptoms of who they are post slavery and now they are showing a full blown infection of hate, racism, ignorance, murder, and deviance to say the least. Whites keep the world focused on blacks in a negative way to thwart folks from remembering all the damage they’ve done around the world, but especially here in North America.
Did you catch the dog ropes/whips each white child was holding that holds the black child?
I think Sandra’s comment was sarcasm.
I’m neither of the two. This SPECIFIC incident is an ISOLATED occurence.
There are issues with education, yes. What I’m saying is that it is not right to judge all public education by this school and others’ issues. There are schools that have it right, but that narrative isn’t as provocative.
Her parents need to sue but they dressed her up as Kizzy so I don’t think they care.
Yes there participation is very concerning.
There are more schools getting it wrong that right.
Common sense as in to not jump up volunteering or participate in stuff that use to opress us. STFU and move TF on
To start at slavery is a brainwashing tactic. They need to start at minimum that African-Americans are from them West Coast of Africa. In turn they should discuss what countries are on the W. Coast of Africa which would lead to the discussion of queens and kings in Africa. I could go on all day. Just because you want to be left in the dark other may not!
Why didn’t she do JEWS BEING BURN IN THE OVEN,MMMMM ILL WAIT!! ISN’T THAT A PART OF HISTORY
They tried to annihilate the natives, and put the rest of them on reservations.
Yas yas
She should have gave them all a glass of water the Kizzy way, especially the teacher.
I’m not supporting what they did smh.
This happened in Massachusetts recently and it caused a uproar.. here is the link to the picture below:
http://www.enterprisenews.com/news/20171019/this-bridgewater-raynham-photo-didnt-depict-slavery-but-that-didnt-matter
Couldn’t believe it. I had to look at it again. This reminds me of buck breaking from back in the slavery days. Yep we send our kids to white schools to get an good education on how to get disrespected at the highest level. Just sick.
Where’s her father to handle that?
This is why you need to join the PTA! He’s 10, i’m sure this has probably happened through grades 1-4. Where were all the parents before?
WOW
I hear you. But that too could be inaccurate because some of us are native to Western lands. As some were here prior to Columbus. Just as they do not provide the original of other races in this country as apart of American history, I do not see why they should. Perhaps, African studies can become a mandated course in the curriculum but as history goes, it should be American history taught and their interaction with us began with slavery and méeeerder.
It looks like they have the black child on a leash.
These teenagers are in middle school. How did this happen? My friends and I would not have allowed that to be done to us!! That’s crazy!!
why is everyone laughing in this photo. Some parts of history don’t need to be reenacted
Me and Lil Hot said I would have fought even if I got my azz whupped. Show my battle scars with pride and have the school to call the police.
Somebody please explain this further to me,WTH is going on here? Was this supposed to be some kind of buck breaking? , was this some type of having ritual? What did I just watch?
Actually their interactions with us begin on the West Coast of Africa. Where they tricked the chiefs of tribes into believing the Africans they were selling would have a prosperous life in America. They need to start African-American history from the West Coast of Africa. Obviously everyone was not royalty, but we come royalty. We don’t come from slaves. Slaves were a consequence to the chiefs of the tribes from the West Coast of Africa!
Wow maybe “Mammy” will fix pancakes for all “Deez gud white folks”
Where did the school think this was a good idea?
America at it’s finest…Thank god I’m Canadian!!!!
