Its kinda funny when you look at it objectively, then you realize this was at a freaking school. Fire all involved, I say. (Granted, Teachers Unions prevent that).
As long as they place the blame where the blame is due: the African American tour guide.
And White people, since I'm sure there are some Whites somewhere who are responsible and need to apologize for the African-American tour guide's actions. That's generally how it works these days.

And the church prevents child rapists from being fired and the bankers and Wall Street types keep their fellow crooks from being fired ....so you had a POINT????????????????????????????????????

If a school wanted a real good lesson on slavery they should have a "white slave day" where all the white kids are forced to wear ankle chains and sent outside to pick cotton placed on the playground while the black kids stand over them and deride them while snapping whips. 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.
