Stunned Students Film Chicago Teachers’ Feud Over Black Doll’s ‘Lynching’
A Chicago school has launched an investigation after a Black doll that appeared as if it was being lynched in a classroom sparked a heated dispute between two teachers.
The teachers at Whitney M. Young Magnet High School got caught in an intense argument Monday that wound up being recorded by a student and circulated between thousands of their classmates on Snapchat.
According to the Chicago Sun Times, a Black teacher approached a white colleague after the white history teacher hung the doll, a Black football player in a blue uniform, at the front of the room from a cord around its neck.
