Age appropriate? This is a danged HIGH SCHOOL!!! these are not little children, they are a few years from being voting adults. They NEED this education.
I don't think the teacher was wrong for this, it puts things in a real life prospective and can be really eye opening for kids. It teaches them that we weren't always equal and things like this can happen again. Learning about the past can prevent it from happening again...yall are too sensitive

Just because you force the teacher to take down the display doesn’t make it go away. It is a part of our history, so kids have a right to learn about it.
@@johnthuginNo your logic is flawed, it's very well known that the Japanese teach very very very little of what part they actually played in WW2.

* Don’t dare say that Segregation lessons are inappropriate. Segregation imposed upon Black children. Black children endured Slavery. If a Black child lived Segregation and Enslavement, then White children can endure those lessons. *
Those lessons are abusive for black kids. Idc if you want to make ur white kids into soy boys. Its not good for black kids to be constantly reminded about trauma.
I agree. Having it removed is just another way of trying to ignore and attempt to rewrite history ... for white people. Are we so embarrassed that we can't let high-school students "see" how it really was. It's completely different seeing it in books/pictures as opposed to seeing it in person. What an impact!
When I was in elementary, we had a two day long lesson about racism by randomly giving everyone either a red or yellow piece of yarn to wear around your wrist. On the first day they picked a color at random to discriminate against. Stuff like giving candy to the reds while yellows don't, passing out work to the reds while making the yellows pass their own work out, ect. The next day they would switch it up so that the reds would be discriminated against
We can’t erase the past and if you don’t LEARN the past, you are doomed to repeat it. And the thing to remember is, segregation only ended 60 years ago. This is our grandparents remember time with all of this. It is not a long time ago. We need to teach kids that this happened so we never let it happen again.
It’s amazing the high schoolers need “age appropriate” learning but as soon as they hit 18 there magically adults that can learn calculus and biochemistry. Learning history is supposed to make you uncomfortable.
"Age appropriate manner?" How many children grew up under segregation and saw those signs and had to learn the hard way what the consequences would be for not obeying them? One name springs to mind, Emmett Till.
That just means you do it in such a way that children of different ages will understand. You aren't going to show graphic pictures of Till in an elementary class, where you might in a college class. This is really not that hard to understand.
out of context, sure these doors look crazy. but if educators are creating a dialogue and lesson plans around the doors to teach both segregation and integration then I think it's a great exercise.
The most important thing you can learn from studying much of history, and especially the civil rights era is that popular opinion was wrong, and the people in charge were wrong. If you think about that too much, you might realize that the people in charge right now could also be wrong, and probably are. It's easy to see why the people in charge wouldn't want this lesson being taught.
Sammy Davis junior was performing at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas in the 60s. His name and photograph were on the sign out front. When he tried to walk in the front door, security guards stopped him and said, the colored entrance is around the side of the building. Mr. Davis was furious. When he got inside he called Frank Sinatras room, telling frank he wants nothing to do with the hotel. Frank calmed Sammy down and Frank called the owner of the hotel and said, if my friend can’t walk in the front door, none of us will be working here ever. That day the Sands Hotel changed its segregation policy, stating everybody’s money is green. The only color we should be concerned (the Sands Hotel) about is green.
The school reaction cracks me up cause it’s so typical. They’ll tell everyone they’re here to learn not to have “distractions” like this. Schools just need their funding to pay the people for them to live their lives. They don’t care about your education.
Ruby Bridges is still alive today. It wasn't that long ago when she was one of the firsts students to enter a school during the desegregation time in New Orleans.
That teacher is a professional educator, who was clearly using the display to show her students that segregation was very much a part of this country’s history. A little bold but it definitely gets the point across when you can simulate how things used to be like, which helps the kids understand it better. Museums do it, why are there no protests at museums for the same thing?
It's heartening to see steps being taken towards acknowledging and rectifying past injustices and mistakes. Removing symbols or displays that do not align with our current understanding of equality and justice can be a powerful statement towards building a more inclusive society. It's important for educational institutions to lead by example, as they play a crucial role in shaping future generations. This action by the North Carolina school may open up more opportunities for constructive conversations and learning about history, equality, and the importance of respecting all individuals. It's a reminder that, while we cannot change the past, we can work together to create a more inclusive and understanding future.
Erasing history in all it’s forms? “Removing symbols or displays that do not align with our current understanding of equality and justice can be a powerful statement towards building a more inclusive society.” I guess if we stop teaching about segregation then maybe some people will quit complaining about what happened in the past. I guess if we stop teaching about how women couldn’t vote in the beginning of America, then today’s women can believe that they were always considered equal to vote.
Let me get this straight, teaching on segregation by entering a classroom in this manner is wrong yet we can still have segregated dorms, fraternities, graduations and even racially discriminatory practices to enter college? Okay.
If it was a middle school or an elementary school, I’d consider it inappropriate, but a high school? That’s a plenty appropriate age if you’re going to have middle schoolers read “Boys Life” like my middle school did.
Sometimes seeing is believing. This is the most civilized human beings have been toward each other in history. So this new generation doesn't know how lucky and blessed they really are. The world was not like this 100 yrs ago No cell phones or wifi lol.
What do you guys want? Do you want people to learn about history so we don't repeat it? Or do you want to act like it never happened? If we are acting like it never happened, why are so many people demanding reparations? You can't censor history because it was bad, that's the whole point of teaching about it.
That teacher needs a dang raise. She doesn't get paid enough to deal with the blowback she's facing for this. If this doesn't align with the school's segregation curriculum, then it's the curriculum that needs to change, not the teacher.
My dad told me about his childhood and how while vacationing in Florida during the 1950s there were signs that said "No Dogs and Jews allowed" Even my home state of Oregon had similar signs during the 20s and 30s!!
As a liberal who encourages teaching of racial issues so we can better tackle them, THIS is an example of how not to do them. We dont actively need to segregate people just to teach it, even Germany has lessons and activities based on the Holocaust but they're never putting kids into fake gas chambers and pretending to kiII them.
i think you've missed the point here. And 99% of comments i've read seem to disagree with you. It does not mean that you are wrong, but perhaps their solutions is a little bit better.
@@mr.v3061 99% of comments I've read are also iffy about this like I am. Depends on the algorithm that shows you the comments. I 100% agree with setting something up to teach kids what it was like but, depending on how they went about this particular setup, it might not necessarily be the best way to teach kids. If they set it up as an example, where the entire class is learning together, integrated, and seeing what it was like then it might not be as bad. But if (things like this have happened before) they let kids if certain color be segregated so they can specifically see how it felt then it's not getting the point across universally
I think the most important part of this is the black community is not outraged, they want kids to see the truth and how society has improved. Without an ugly truth we are not forced to look within and continue to improve, which is why i think in this coddled and willfully ignorant generation we have regressed so far.
Years ago [I from The midwest] went to visit a relative near Tampa FL. We went to a first of its kind Webb City - a megastore. I was about 12 years old at the time. Of course I found it fascinating. I saw two water coolers - one was labeled COLORED the other WHITE. I am white and had a best friend and school mate back home who was African American - obviously a bit oblivious to this racist reality. In my naïveté, I went up to the colored fountains and pushed the bottom and LOUDLY declared “THIS WATER IS NOT COLORED” - My best friend and I got a bit charge over that when I got beck home.
I'm totally against racism in any form. I cannot stand it when anyone draws a line due to race for any reason. However, this was not racism, but history. Now the difference if you ONLY let specific races enter their respective doors without context, then that is racism. However if the teacher said, I tomorrow I would like you to use ONLY the door associated to you and afterwards we will discuss how that made you feel and discuss the ramifications and implications then it would be a history lesson. Context is key.
Fact is ... What folks just can't handle their truth and the fact that their mentality towards others still hasn't changed ... If it wasn't was laws and lawsuits these days, those doors would still exist and in some out the way places they do
I think this is a good exercise. I remember those times and the feelings I had about segregated spaces. Wondering why it was that way and how the Black folks felt. The shabby restroom facilities they had out back while the White restrooms were nice. Standing in line at the movie theater and the Blacks were in a separate line and they had to sit in the balcony. When a Black person came to your house, they never came to the front door. So this school exercise makes you think. What would happen to me if I took the wrong door? What does that space behind the other door look like and is it the same as my designated space? How do I feel when I go through the door; do I feel superior or degraded? This can lead to lots of discussion with the students and extend to talk about segregated places that still exist today.
Because many white people are LGBT including conservatives. And white liberals don’t care as much as they say they do. But also same with black people. They’re not all about progressive views outside of their own benefits. Some are but definitely not all. It’s all sorts of selfishness and it puts actually negatively impacted people from all subgroups harmed the most
Experience is the best leaning tool. Kids seeing that will remember history much better. As a white person I am disappointed of the white people that want to delete the bad times in our history. I didn't learn in school about how cruel american was to the Native Americans until I taught it in homeschool.
Personally, I believe those segregated entrances should remain so people can experience them and see why Jim Crow should never happen again. Removing those doors removes the "experience" of racial segregation. If they can't experience it first hand, they may never know how horrible racial segregation was.
Do you know what these teens are watching on their phones. This is very age-appropriate probably the most age appropriate thing they have seen since they were 3 years.
As a student as a white student I was honored to learn about times like these. Men and women fighting for the right to live and rise . Women today are still fighting.
Out of all this stuff going on in the world they worried about some historic decorations on a teacher door thats actually teaching the kids real history. Smh
When I was a pre-K teacher I would have these convos with my 4-5 year old students about how it once was. I asked them how would they feel if our class didn’t look the way it did now, I explained they wouldn’t be able to play with all the friends we have and neither I or the other black and brown teachers wouldn’t be able to teach them. They were all able to express themselves and said they would be sad, mad, they would speak up for each other. One little boy who was white looked at another child who was black and said “I am white, he is black and he is MY BEST FRIEND” it was a beautiful moment. So yeah let’s be honest with students. They can handle it and they can be the change. Even a pre-K class got it. Surely high schooler will be fine.
I was curious what it's like to live back in the day. Now blacks are trying to the same thing.....I want my own water fountain next (for history lesson of course🤣)
History is important in teaching what happens in the old days but statues are being taken down and erased while segregation is still going on in opposites direction by one toward the whites by any race that the people were trying to fix. Those who didn’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Good or bad you can't cover up history. Things were like that at one point. But now in the future we can learn from it and see how it effected those of the past.
@@RockBrentwood brother, they were talking from a moral standpoint, smh. The earth does physically cover up history, but it’s not ethical for us to remove it.
Back then, those were private-properties and colored-only was code for long-heads only and white-only was code for wide-heads only. Those were all private properties so who can say against that. If one does, that’s a burden. Skin-color isn’t the racial part, yet head-shape, long-head or wide-head. This type of news is the restart of burden-dictatorial momentum. Racism is discriminatory between head-shape NOT skin-color. To those who want attention so badly, why pick this controversy? This is harder to dig than many too-many-to-count controversies. Jim Crow disappeared because she, who was a wide-head trans, at that time, kept recurring this controversy, INTENTIONALLY ignoring head-differentiation. So I hate those who keep purposely-ignoring private-property and act as if interruption is a “normal-concern”. It hurts me so much. It makes me suffer of fear.
At least she isn't fired. We can only read about stuff like this, if not even that. So, something visual is going to send many schools into panic mode.
Both arguments are valid. I didn't know that this was still happening. Did male and female use the same bathrooms? As to gender identification, I went to a bar with a fake door with ' It ' written on it. At this present time, this should be implemented.
I think this is clever and accurate, but it could be embarrassing for some of the students. That embarrassment could go both ways and is not a bad thing for students to feel different emotions because of this

@@Hidinginthetreeline right totally it helps kids learn how to develop psychological trauma by having to go through the same awful experience.🤦♂️
@@beyondhuman3148 it’s not the same experience. Get over yourself.
If we can't teach our children about actual history, how are we meant to prevent history from repeating itself?
Why would it repeat itself ?
I'm totally against racism in any form. I cannot stand it when anyone draws a line due to race for any reason. However, this was not racism, but history. Now the difference if you ONLY let specific races enter their respective doors without context, then that is racism. However if the teacher said, I tomorrow I would like you to use ONLY the door associated to you and afterwards we will discuss how that made you feel and discuss the ramifications and implications then it would be a history lesson. Context is key.
They can go to universities after high school where students segregate themselves in insular racial clubs anyways. It's good preparation for that.
What’s it feel like to have your whole history summed up to one month? It’s racist if you ask me.
I don't think this is bad Kids need to know the History.
That's crazy
Fact is ... What folks just can't handle their truth and the fact that their mentality towards others still hasn't changed ... If it wasn't was laws and lawsuits these days, those doors would still exist and in some out the way places they do
I think this is a good exercise. I remember those times and the feelings I had about segregated spaces. Wondering why it was that way and how the Black folks felt. The shabby restroom facilities they had out back while the White restrooms were nice. Standing in line at the movie theater and the Blacks were in a separate line and they had to sit in the balcony. When a Black person came to your house, they never came to the front door. So this school exercise makes you think. What would happen to me if I took the wrong door? What does that space behind the other door look like and is it the same as my designated space? How do I feel when I go through the door; do I feel superior or degraded? This can lead to lots of discussion with the students and extend to talk about segregated places that still exist today.
North Carolina is.... Smh.... Goes to show NC isn't trying to let go of their hate and racism!
Man theyre just so insecure over there in NC
Facts
The teacher did nothing wrong here. She created a visual example of it. It's part of our history.
But LGBT and transgender studies for any age is OK when none of this is allowed? 😂
Because many white people are LGBT including conservatives. And white liberals don’t care as much as they say they do. But also same with black people. They’re not all about progressive views outside of their own benefits. Some are but definitely not all. It’s all sorts of selfishness and it puts actually negatively impacted people from all subgroups harmed the most
North Carolina. What a shocker.
I think they should keep it up!!
It's academia people, it perfectly fine for a teacher to teach this way...
I’m a bit conflicted. Of course it’s should be taught but we also don’t want to relive it
instagram reel comments would support this
Experience is the best leaning tool. Kids seeing that will remember history much better. As a white person I am disappointed of the white people that want to delete the bad times in our history. I didn't learn in school about how cruel american was to the Native Americans until I taught it in homeschool.
Whitte only churches still exist even though rare.
Hahaha I love it… that’s exactly what I teach my kids. Be accepting of others; but don’t forget what has happened so it doesn’t happen again.
Nothing about it is inappropriate for high schoolers. It is perfect for the age group.
Personally, I believe those segregated entrances should remain so people can experience them and see why Jim Crow should never happen again. Removing those doors removes the "experience" of racial segregation. If they can't experience it first hand, they may never know how horrible racial segregation was.
That is BOLD.
In Canada the government has to teach what happened to the Native people instead of sweeping it under the rug
Know the truth.
Do you know what these teens are watching on their phones. This is very age-appropriate probably the most age appropriate thing they have seen since they were 3 years.
I don't think this was inappropriate at all. Kudos to that teacher for showing the ugly truth.
So a bunch of white bosses telling black educators they cant share their story/history
because, somehow, it offends THEM. how pathetic!
They're high schoolers. Surely, this is "age-appropriate."
People are so sensitive that stupidity is inevitable
As a student as a white student I was honored to learn about times like these. Men and women fighting for the right to live and rise .
Women today are still fighting.
I think that was a very fruitful display for learning about the era, and the deeper knowledge about how sears was a first in that era
Kids need to touch grass. Why is everyone so afraid of the truth???
the fact it became such a issue means it did its job
🙄 time to move on people
talk about missing the point by a country mile
Out of all this stuff going on in the world they worried about some historic decorations on a teacher door thats actually teaching the kids real history. Smh
The east asian kid ... I guess ill just shop at Macy's 😛😛😛
the school district took the safe ruling for their careers
When I was a pre-K teacher I would have these convos with my 4-5 year old students about how it once was. I asked them how would they feel if our class didn’t look the way it did now, I explained they wouldn’t be able to play with all the friends we have and neither I or the other black and brown teachers wouldn’t be able to teach them. They were all able to express themselves and said they would be sad, mad, they would speak up for each other. One little boy who was white looked at another child who was black and said “I am white, he is black and he is MY BEST FRIEND” it was a beautiful moment. So yeah let’s be honest with students. They can handle it and they can be the change. Even a pre-K class got it. Surely high schooler will be fine.
Just change it to "multicultural entrance" and they would be applauded.
I was curious what it's like to live back in the day. Now blacks are trying to the same thing.....I want my own water fountain next (for history lesson of course🤣)

Why the heck weren't these doors taken down thinking to go?!?
Its history. Now, we all use the same door.
Cant do math, but sure lets perpetuate angry violent teens who already struggle to process feelings.
I think it was a good history lesson. The story of segregation will never disappear.
Most of the biggest moments of history has never been "age-appropriate". If you wanna paint a clearer picture, don't downplay it
People called it disgraceful. YES!!! THAT'S THE POINT!! It was disgraceful and pretending it didn't happen doesn't make it better.
History is important in teaching what happens in the old days but statues are being taken down and erased while segregation is still going on in opposites direction by one toward the whites by any race that the people were trying to fix. Those who didn’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Good or bad you can't cover up history. Things were like that at one point. But now in the future we can learn from it and see how it effected those of the past.
By letting black children get a taste of the segregation today? No… just no.
Education should be displayed properly. Toilets are necessary for normal use. Please read my comment.
@@RockBrentwood brother, they were talking from a moral standpoint, smh. The earth does physically cover up history, but it’s not ethical for us to remove it.
I think it’s great to remind us of our history. It’s not inappropriate .
Next thing you know some black kid’s parent sue the school for damaging their kids self esteem because of having to look at the signs…
Back then, those were private-properties and colored-only was code for long-heads only and white-only was code for wide-heads only. Those were all private properties so who can say against that. If one does, that’s a burden. Skin-color isn’t the racial part, yet head-shape, long-head or wide-head. This type of news is the restart of burden-dictatorial momentum. Racism is discriminatory between head-shape NOT skin-color. To those who want attention so badly, why pick this controversy? This is harder to dig than many too-many-to-count controversies. Jim Crow disappeared because she, who was a wide-head trans, at that time, kept recurring this controversy, INTENTIONALLY ignoring head-differentiation. So I hate those who keep purposely-ignoring private-property and act as if interruption is a “normal-concern”. It hurts me so much. It makes me suffer of fear.
At least she isn't fired. We can only read about stuff like this, if not even that. So, something visual is going to send many schools into panic mode.
Both arguments are valid. I didn't know that this was still happening. Did male and female use the same bathrooms?
As to gender identification, I went to a bar with a fake door with ' It ' written on it. At this present time, this should be implemented.
Why did they stop there, why didn't they put up auctioning blocks also?
students in one school actually did stage a fake "auction" on snapchat.
There are none so blind, as they who cannot see!!! Words fail!!!
I think this is clever and accurate, but it could be embarrassing for some of the students. That embarrassment could go both ways and is not a bad thing for students to feel different emotions because of this
Well…the story went viral, so I guess the point was made and the lesson served its purpose.
