And this somehow justifies why teacher unions obstruct disciplinary actions against ineffective teachers?

Of course we would not be able to go all the way with whippings, rapes and seeing your family sold off to another black family to be carted away never to be seen again. But they would get the idea.
Sure that makes sense.

Doubt the tour guide will be fired since he was black. Had he been white Jesse and Al would demand a firing squad.

If a tour guide wants to make a renactment then who should he/she select to portray the slaves ~ blonde or redheaded whites? Wouldn't that be about as stupid as Elvis playing a Native Indian in a movie (since he didn't look the part one bit)?

Also. . .

Would there be an outcry if regular All-American white kids were asked to portray a field worker during the Okie migration to California? Would THAT be politically-incorrect, too?

Also. . .

Would there be an outcry if the tour guide was white? Probably even worse.

The tour guide was an idiot for trying to make an educational point and expecting people to understand what he was doing.

Man, Im not attacking Unions in general (other than teachers unions, which I think are failing our children, especially the poor). I was just saying these teachers should be fired but probably wont be.

A simple letter to the parents asking for their permission would have saved everyone a lot of grief

I wonder why this racist did not chose the white students to help the black slaves escape while putting their own life and the lives of their family in danger. Oh wait that would not continue the propaganda and whining.

It's Obama's fault. If he weren't half-black, this wouldn't have happened.

Nothing in your paragraph makes sense or shows any signs of common logic.
