A Washington state family is demanding that a Spokane school administrator be removed after he suggested to "segregate" two Black teenagers who felt uncomfortable with a classroom assignment that involved cleaning cotton.
Twins Emzayia and Zyeshauwne Feazell said on May 3, their social studies teacher at Sacajawea Middle School took out a box of raw cotton during a lesson on industrial economics and told the class they were going to do a “fun” activity to see who could clean cotton the fastest, according to the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington.
The teens said the activity made them feel embarrassed and angry, and told their mother, Brandi Feazell, about the incident.

“We didn’t learn about the slave trade or anything about the history of slavery,” Emzayia said in the ACLU statement. “The lesson made it seem like enslaved people existed just to pick and clean cotton.”
When the mother called the school, assistant principal Taylor Skidmore defended the teachers actions. After hanging up, Feazell said Skidmore called again and suggested he could "segregate" them from the class, which he said would allow them to avoid interacting with the teacher, who is white, according to the ACLU.
Feazell was shocked at the suggestion and removed her children from the school, saying they don't feel comfortable going back.
"I knew at that point that my concerns were going upon absolutely deaf ears; that there was going to be no concern or action of any sort," Feazell told USA TODAY. "I knew I literally had to go to the district and try to get some answers."
Sandra Jarrard, director of communications for the Spokane Public School district, told USA TODAY a third-party investigator was hired to look into the matter.
"The students were learning about the industrial revolution and the cotton gin was discussed. We take all complaints very seriously and are committed to investigating them fully. There are conflicting reports to this incident. Once the third party investigation is completed, we look forward to coming back to share the outcomes,"Jarrard said.

Feazell said her and her kids have had a lot of mixed emotions since they left the school.
"It's a lot of stress involved because there's a lot of unknown things. We don't know where things are going to go and we don't know where we're currently standing," she said.
The family also wants the social studies teacher and other school administrators to be disciplined in addition to the removal of Skidmore, as well as a formal apology from the school district.
"I need my daughters to know that going back to school is a safe environment ... I need them to know that they can speak up," Feazell said.

The district passed a racial equity resolution in June 2020 that includes anti-racism training for staff and faculty, as well as the expansion of multi-cultural organizations across the district, according to CBS KREM.

If they are Billy, I'd like to see their faces as they re-pick and clean that cotton. Just call it a do-over. I bet it's much tougher than back in the good ol days.

One of the issues with this current atmosphere of telling others how to think and act is that very seldom will anyone on the receiving end stand up to the ideological bullies.

Someone needs to say go fk yourself when confronted with Nazi-like orders on how to think and act.

Let's go back to freedom of speech. What right do the psychocrats have to decide who says what?

AWoman, Dave......

I think the Government should ban cotton for black people.....they can then embrace their African tradition of wearing grass skirts. Also, they can wear those big round objects in their ear lobes......not to mention the Monkey bone through their nose......can't you just see it today. Those blacks wearing their traditional garb, late at night doing the Watusi around a burning Police Car......

Absolutely, and people have to back each other up when they do stand up to the bullshet.

Yes.

What happens, Dave, is when you go against the grain, you get black-balled. As a result people are afraid of losing the things that provide them reasonable stability. By giving in to the pressure, they join the ranks of those who oppresses them.......pure Socialism....

[USMC 2571]

Well, Billy, more people in authority need to go against the current grain.

[Mongoose]

Absolutely right, Dave. It's like a Bully at school......they will keep on picking on you until you finally fist 'em between the eyes. We Patriots have more than enough in the ranks to devastate the Socialist scum.......we just need a "Leader" who knows how to bring everyone together....and the means to do it..

Excellent post.

We have been at the point to where the majority no longer matters, for a while now. White people are now guilty by association. What needs to happen is, when a black person is found guilty of a violent offense, their whole family should then be put on trail for that offense. They should then be made to make reparations to the victims family. The tables have been turned in our society. It is now the White Americans that seek equality. It's now our voice that has been muted. As a White person, our Religious beliefs stand in the way of the Progressive agenda and therefore deemed as an attack on immoral individuals freedom of speech. Until we, as God fearing Americans, look around at our family and friends, remember history, and say fvck this, it's time to smell sulfur.......until then, we are aiding and abetting that which is destroying our Country, our Family, and our God given right to Freedom........just saying Brothers.....
