Superintendent Issues Apology Following Idiotic ‘Coloreds Only’ and ‘Whites Only’ Signs in Unauthorized First-Grade Lesson; Teacher’s Job in Jeopardy?

A lesson meant to reflect on the racism of the Jim Crow era has sparked outrage at Honey Creek Elementary. Nikisha, a mother of two students, reported her children were deeply troubled by "Whites Only" and "Coloreds Only" signs near water fountains. Superintendent Shirley Chesser described the incident as an unauthorized activity connected to Ruby Bridges. The school recognized the signs as inappropriate, emphasizing their aim to foster dialogue rooted in historical truth. The NAACP has urged systemic changes, calling for an end to such divisive practices in education.
