Wisconsin school apologizes for homework assignment on 'good' reasons for slavery
By John Bowden - 01/11/18 05:08 PM EST

A private Wisconsin elementary school is reportedly apologizing for a homework assignment that asked fourth-graders to list "good" reasons for slavery alongside "bad" ones.

Our Redeemer Lutheran School in Wauwatosa apologized on Thursday in a letter to parents, agreeing that the homework assignment was racially offensive and “showed a lack of sensitivity,” the Associated Press reported.

“The purpose of the assignment was not, in any way, to have students argue that ANY slavery is acceptable — a concept that goes against our core values and beliefs about the equality and worth of people of all races,” the letter to parents read.

Poor Wauwatosa.  Too close to Milwaukee to escape all the racecard droppings of the welfare city on the lake.
