When Angela Walker went through her son's school folder, she was shocked to find what the fifth grader had been working on in class.A social studies assignment from Blades Elementary School in Oakville, Missouri, had asked some students, including her biracial son, to imagine that they work in the slave trade. Then it prompted them to set a price for a slave."You own a plantation or farm and therefore need more workers. You begin to get involved in the slave trade industry and have slaves work on your farm. Your product to trade is slaves.Set your price for a slave. _____________ These could be worth a lot.You may trade for any items you'd like," one of the questions in the exercise read.That question was one among 12 that school Principal Jeremy Booker said "attempted to address market practices."Other questions asked students to set a price for items such as a bushel of grain, a piece of lumber and a jug of milk. At the end of the exercise, students were asked to reflect on a free market economy and whether they'd consider themselves wealthy given the money and items they had left over."As part of both the Missouri Learning Standards for fifth-grade Social Studies and the fifth-grade Mehlville School District curriculum, students were learning about having goods, needing goods and obtaining goods and how that influenced early settlement in America," Booker wrote in a letter sent to families at the school on Monday."Some students who participated in this assignment were prompted to consider how plantation owners traded for goods and slaves."Assignment was 'culturally insensitive'The assignment was "culturally insensitive," Booker wrote, and he said the teacher had expressed "significant remorse."As the Mehlville School District continues to investigate, the teacher has been placed on administrative leave, the district confirmed to CNN. Booker also wrote that he was working to train all teachers and staff at the school about "cultural bias.""Also, I am working with district leadership to provide all Blades teachers and staff with professional development on cultural bias in the near future," he wrote."We are working together to ensure all students and families feel valued and respected at Blades Elementary."Chris Gaines, Mehlville School District superintendent, apologized for the assignment on Tuesday."Asking a student to participate in a simulated activity that puts a price on a person is not acceptable," Gaines wrote in a statement. "Racism of any kind, even inadvertently stemming from cultural bias, is wrong and is not who we aspire to be as a school district. I am sorry and disappointed that this happened in our school."NAACP hopes to meet with school officialsWalker, who is a teacher herself, told 2765

Whole Foods employees are protesting their working conditions. They staged a mass “sick out” on Tuesday. The group tweeted a list of requests for Amazon – which owns Whole Foods. It included guaranteed paid-leave for workers who self-quarantine, health care coverage for part-time and seasonal workers, and “hazard pay” that’s double what they normally are paid during scheduled hours. Whole Foods has boosted pay by an hour, but workers say that’s not enough. "Hazard pay" is extra compensation when employees are required to work in potentially dangerous conditions. Human resources experts say it's something that wouldn't normally be considered for grocery store or warehouse workers. That's changing because of the pandemic."The risk is elevated and it’s elevated now for way more jobs than we ever planned for,” said Scott Cawood, CEO of World at Work. “Like I said, working at a grocery store, we’re coming into contact with the public. Any of these jobs right now have bumped up the elevation of the dangerous level and would fit into what we think of hazard pay."Some workers at these essential businesses are already receiving “hazard pay.” Big companies like Costco, Target and Walmart are giving employees extra cash. Others are looking at different ways to help."We’ve seen organizations, for example, sending toilet paper to employees, new childcare funds coming open, different types of bonuses being put in place to help,” said Cawood. “We’ve got transportation allowances happening all over. Many benefits that are happening right now are outside the traditional scope because this is such an extreme situation."While many workers welcome the additional pay, some still don't feel comfortable going to work.Congress is working on legislation that would allow employees to refuse hazard pay, but still be able to come back to work after this health crisis. 1887

Voting in America is a right in our democracy, but the security of our voting machines is a concern.“I’m not exactly sure how the election fraud keeps happening, because they can make a slot machine unhackable, but it seems like the polling machines are susceptible to all kinds of intrusions and manipulation,” Colorado voter Karen Katalinich said.Cyber expert Kevin Ford says he believes the U.S. is still vulnerable to attacks.Ford, with CyberGRX, says voting machine technology differs from state to state. However, he says the problem isn’t necessarily with the machine. Rather, it’s what happens with the data after you cast your vote.“The machines themselves may keep records of who voted for whom, but in a lot of cases those records will be exported from the machine and moved to databases in the cloud and on the internet, which opens up a whole lot of other connectivity routes,” Ford said.He says many machines are connected to state websites. Some of which don’t have the best security due to lack of funding.“We already have examples of Russia accessing those databases, pulling information from those databases, and trying to attack those databases,” Ford said.Ford says intruders can try to upload some bad code to get the database to spit out valid data or destroy some of that data. He says many states have improved voting security, but others are lagging behind. While he does feel the U.S. is still vulnerable to another attack, others trust the technology.“I think people in charge of it are pretty thorough about making sure it’s done right, and if something’s wrong, it’s always brought to their attention,” Mississippi voter Ronnie Wilhite said.“It should be safe and secure enough for voters to feel confident in who they choose to elect their officials,” California voter Pen Chang said. “So, in general, I feel pretty good about the safety and security of the machines.” Ford says there is no federal requirement to look into the security of the voting system. He believes that needs to change, to make sure everyone’s vote is being counted fairly.“We need laws in place to make sure that we are looking into the voting systems so that we’re doing audits and risk assessments on those. We also need standards. We need policies, we need framework which tells the states how to secure voting systems.”Until then, some voters say they'll still cast their ballots by machine.“I guess I just trust the system that people are being honest,” Colorado voter Jenna Cobo said.**********************************************************If you'd like to contact the journalist for this story, email elizabeth.ruiz@scripps.com 2652

While Spider-Man was off-duty, a real-life superhero swung into action to comfort Lenore Koppelman's son.She and her husband, Steve, took Ralph, 9, to Universal's Islands of Adventure theme park in Florida on a trip from New York. Ralph patiently cycled through other rides all day, but all he wanted to do was get on the Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man.With that attraction positioned near the park exit, he'd have to wait.Finally, when it was time to ride, Ralph bubbled over with excitement. But with the ride vehicles in sight, Spider-Man broke down.Ralph, who has autism, "lost it," Koppelman wrote in a Facebook post."We could see (the meltdown) coming, like an oncoming train. And yet we couldn't dodge out of the way."Ralph lay sprawled on the floor of the ride exit, screaming and crying so hard he could barely breathe. People had to step around him. Koppelman wrote such fits are rare, but the one at the park was "epic."His parents tried to peel him off the ground as strangers stared at the distraught child.That's when Spider-Man ride employee Jen Whelchel lay down next to him.She let him cry, helped him breathe and diverted foot traffic. She told Ralph it was OK to be sad, Koppelman wrote. The two lay there until the boy felt better.When they got up, Ralph picked out Spidey trinkets from the gift shop (courtesy of Whelchel). Ralph smiled and thanked her, and Koppelman hugged her, long and hard.The parent shared her experience in a glowing Facebook recommendation, now shared more than 34,000 times, thanking the "magical people" who made Ralph feel special."I noticed his level of upset was more than the regular level of upset," Whelchel told 1680
