Among other things during this lesson, the teacher had the students pretend they were Jewish by giving them graphic details and having them pretend they were in gas chambers. I guess reading about it wasn't good enough for these 11 year olds. Nothing like a little role-playing to drudge up horrible memories in our history. Next week she plans on chaining all the African-American students together and sending them on a month long boat ride in effort to have them appreciate what some of their ancestors had to go through.
