ELLICOTT CITY, Md. – A Howard County high school teacher returned to the classroom Tuesday after a four-day suspension for asking students to write a “fun” slave song as part of a lesson about Frederick Douglass.

Howard County schools superintendent Renee Foose told The Baltimore Sun she suspended the unnamed Mount Hebron High School English teacher for four days after the “inexperienced” educator doled out the “outrageous” assignment earlier this month.

“It was offensive and out of scope with what we should be teaching,” Foose said, noting that the assignment was not part of the district’s curriculum.
