A South Fayette High School social studies teacher has been suspended after issuing a controversial assignment about slavery.
The assignment was titled “Is The Slave Trade Profitable?” It asked students to be a ship captain in the 1700s and budget the buying and selling of slaves, asking whether they would “tight pack” or “loose pack” the ship to make more money.
Trib Total Media news partner WPXI spoke with several parents and students about the assignment.
“It’s just shocking that my son had to sit in class and figure out the price that his ancestors were bought and sold for,” parent Leigh Hill said.
