Grambling investigating school lesson involving noose
 

Grambling President is investigating school lesson involving an adult placing a noose around at least one child's neck

Louisiana in the national spotlight again....... (sigh)

I'm not sure "stringing them up" is a good way to teach that, especially at for "Kindergarten and first-grade students". High School students might be another matter

Can Kindergarteners really understand the controversy in Jena at that age? I think there are many positive ways to teach children to love thy neighbor.

Can you imagine the stink if a white teacher had done this? I wonder who would get here first Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson.

Moreover, If the teacher was black, and the student(s) were white, would Al and Jesse be racing to the scene? It's hard to imagine how Al and Jesse do not see themselves has racist or at least hypocritical.....

Pictures Surface of Elementary Students With Nooses Around Their Necks As Jena 6 Lesson

This teacher was wanting the media to come to Grambling. Well she got it and some paid leave to boot. Nice make a foolish move like placing a rope on a child's neck bring in the media and all the trouble and get a paid vacation. Let me guess ?? :rolleyes::rolleyes: yes a democRAT !

It is amazing. African Americans can get 200-300 buses to Jena filled to the brim, but they couldn't get on buses to get out of New Orleans for Hurricane Katrina.

Noose incident draws national attention to GSU

"She explained to them the significance of the noose and what it was used for," LaGrande said. "It wasn't on her neck the entire time she was talking. If it was more than 30 seconds, I was surprised."

He said the incident he witnessed in no way instilled hatred in the kindergärtners and first-graders.

"Those kids wanted to know what was going on," he said. "They were asking, 'Why do people go to jail for getting in a school fight?' That led the teachers to do this mock rally."

:nono::nono::nono::nono:
That is so wrong ! This was all about the media and the plight of the black man and how this teacher will use the media to get her revenge. America does not need the law run by a mob and court decisions made base on the fact that these six are black. The law is the law white or black or anything else. Jessi and Sharpe used played those people like a cheap guitar. Shame on them big time.

I wonder what kind of imbeciles are teaching at the school??
Everyone knows that 5 and 6 year olds are way too young to comprehend the noose and all the stigma that goes with it. They most likely succeeded in teaching these little children to be terrified of white people. :(

Interesting point Isaac.. Perhaps Al and Jesse should be in charge of the National Hurricane Center. Or maybe run for mayor of New Orleans...

They would fit right in with Nagin and Blanco. Oh brother where art thou :eek:

You know, these people are always hollering race but they are the very ones that are constantly teaching HATE. That is what the teacher was doing with those young children and the nooses, teaching hate and how to holler racism. It is rediculous. Someone needs to tell some of those people get a life, times have changed , move on.
