Episode Synopsis

A white teacher cast two black kids as slaves in a read-aloud class play called “A Triangle of Trade.” The purpose was to give students a look at the atrocities of the slave trade. Carmen Parker, who is black, and her husband, who is white, are the parents of one of the kids. They called out the teacher and school for cultural insensitivity.
The teacher was placed on leave but both parents along with others have called for the teacher to be reinstated and not be made a scapegoat. The real problem is the lack of black teachers.
