Cotton bolls in class remind SF students of slavery, but UC Berkeley prof says abolishing white people OK

 From The College Fix

“A San Francisco history teacher allegedly was suspended and then forced to apologize for bringing in cotton plants for a lesson on slavery and the cotton gin.”

Teacher was absent from school five weeks and upon return “issued a written apology to school families.”

“The Chronicle also quotes the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Education’s Zeus Leonardo who said lessons such as the one in question ‘could be producing harm for the very students the teacher thinks they’re speaking up for.’ Which is interesting considering Leonardo has posited that children are born human but then are ‘“bullied’ into ‘becoming white,’ and said ‘to abolish whiteness is to abolish white people.’”
