LAKEWOOD, Colo. â Several parents are up in arms about a Black History Month lesson they say was handled inappropriately.
The lesson, in a gifted and talented 8th grade Social Studies class at Creighton Middle School, focused on slavery. It made me nauseous, one student said. There was a knot in my stomach.
That student, who asked to be called Kaye, said the instructor told her class the lesson was a serious matter. But Kaye said some students didn t take it seriously.
