| A school district in Tennessee has apologised for an “inappropriate” homework assignment that prompted students to pretend their families owned slaves.
The handwritten assignment that touched on the topics of slavery, immigration and child labour was given to eighth graders at Sunset Middle School in Brentwood on Wednesday (local time).
Dan Fountain’s 13-year-old sister was one of the students in the class and told her brother it made her feel uncomfortable.
When looking at the assignment himself, he saw the prompt that read: “Your family owns slaves. Create a list of expectations for your family’s slaves.”
