Outrage as kids pick cotton, sing slave songs during school field trip

Disturbing cell phone video has appeared online apparently showing a class of 10-year-old South Carolina elementary school kids picking cotton and singing slave songs as their teachers supervise.
The cell phone video was reportedly taken by one of the teachers and sent to parents of fifth graders from Ebenezer Avenue Elementary in Rock Hill, South Carolina this week. "I like it when you don't talk back, make money for me," the children can be heard singing in the videos.
I'm livid right now," parent Jessica Blanchard told Fox 46 after the video emerged. "I'm African-American and my ancestors picked cotton. Why would I want my son to pick cotton and think it's fun?"

According to Blanchard and other parents, there was apparently no mention of picking cotton on the permission slip for the field trip.
