An English teacher with Metro Nashville Public Schools has been placed on leave pending a disciplinary review for a homework some parents considered to be inappropriate. The assignment itself has sparked conversation about race and how to handle tough subjects in the classroom.The homework in question was assigned to 30 students at Cane Ridge High School in Antioch as they discussed "Fences," a play and film adaptation exploring the topic of race as a father struggles to provide for his family. The handout given to students asked them to write a one-page paper on the derogatory term "n-word" and answer several questions including how the word is racist and how it is used. In the assignment provided by a parent, the term was spelled out. The play uses the language frequently. The parent, who wanted to remain anonymous, said she was hurt and felt the conversation about race and derogatory terms should be taught by parents and not the school. She wanted more awareness about how sensitive the topic is and preferred prior notification. The teacher involved has been with MNPS since 2015 and received no disciplinary actions in the past. Spokesperson Sean Braisted of MNPS said the assignment has been retracted and canceled. In a statement, MNPS Director Dr. Adrienne Battle said, “The homework assignment given out at Cane Ridge High School was offensive, inappropriate, and out-of-line with the standards of MNPS. I sincerely apologize to students, families, and community members who may experience pain or trauma as a result of this incident.""It's difficult for sure in this particular context if the assignment is appropriate, but based on what I see, those are the kinds of questions we need to engage with our young people," said Cornelius Vanderbilt Distinguished Professor of Education Richard Milner.Milner said having deep conversations on tough subjects like this is in the classroom is essential and can be beneficial to help young people engage in difficult conversations outside of the classroom. However, he stresses a lot of work is required to communicate the meaning and history behind the word beforehand."Thinking about and asking young people to engage with the word without talking and being deliberate about the historical nature of it can do more harm than good," he said.Milner said while most teachers tend to have really good intentions, sometimes teachers are unprepared to address what might be considered the difficult issues, and should have proper tools. Since the incident, a student started an online petition showing support for the teacher. So far it has garnered more than 800 virtual signatures. The student said the teacher is "being persecuted for trying to prepare us for the real world by gifting us with the ability to think critically."Battle said the actions of the teacher will be investigated by Human Resources. The administration is working with the Equity and Diversity team on follow-up actions or training for any other faculty at the school who may have been involved in the decision to approve the assignment. 3089

Argentina's energy secretary said he does not believe a cyberattack caused a massive power outage that left tens of millions of people in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay in darkness for several hours on Sunday."At this moment we do not rule out any possibilities but ... a cyberattack is not within the preliminary alternatives being considered," Gustavo Lopetegui told reporters on Sunday.Argentina's President Mauricio Macri called the power outage, which also affected parts of Chile and southern Brazil, "unprecedented" and announced an official investigation into the cause.As of now, no explanation for the widespread power failure has been identified.The blackout comes as 692

BALTIMORE — Dottie Morales was sick of living in an apartment, so when her Facebook friend told her about a new way to get thousands of dollars, she was intrigued."She said, 'Hi, how are you doing?' I said, 'I'm not doing too well, got the flu, how are you?' And she says, 'Great! I just got a ,000 grant and I'm able to pay off all my medical bills,' " Morales said. The acquaintance then put her in touch with Timothy Doyle, a government grant claim agent with Swift Global Grant. He said he would be able to help Morales afford a new home."I really wanted to get a nice double wide trailer that I would call my own and live there, and you know, be happy for the rest of my years on earth," Morales said. The promise of a better life was enough to cloud Morales' judgment when Doyle asked for a ,500 advanced processing fee. He said after that she would receive her grant, but it wasn't that simple."Customs stopped the money, so you must pay an additional amount of money," Doyle told Morales.Another time she was told the driver of the Fed-Ex truck was in an accident and she needed to pay more money to have the grant transferred to a new truck. Then she received a text message from someone claiming to be an FBI agent and demanding a fee or the grant would be held up at FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C.Morales said she kept sending the man money "because he kept asking me to trust him, trust him, this wasn't scam, he's a man of God, he wouldn't lie to me."Morales was so deep into the scheme, and wanted so desperately to believe the money was on its way, she even cooked dinner for Doyle and waited for his arrival."That was when he did not show up again, and I was heartbroken," she said.Not surprisingly, the photo used by the man claiming to be Timothy Doyle was not Doyle. A quick reverse Google image search revealed the photo was actually of Bill Grant, a former Minnesota Department of Commerce official. And the photos of grant recipients posted on Swift Global Grant's website had also been modified."Copy a picture, do a little Photoshop, change the name, create a new identity, I mean they can create new financial footprints for false businesses in a matter of 15 minutes," said Jody Thomas, vice president of communications and marketing for the Better Business Bureau of Greater Maryland.Morales contacted Thomas asking for help. Thomas advised her to stop responding to Doyle's calls, emails and texts, and any unknown numbers. But instead, Morales listened when someone contacted her about getting her money back."And she bought into it," Thomas said.Morales lost thousands more. "You know that somebody's getting taken advantage of, and we're talking over the phone and all we want is to get in our car and ride down and tell her, 'Dottie, please stop communicating,' " said Thomas, who became emotionally involved in the case.Morales lost her retirement savings, maxed out two credit cards, and the financial devastation and deceit affected her confidence."Definitely, I'm very leery and cautious now every time I deal with people because I don't believe anything they say anymore," Morales said. Morales believes her Facebook friend's account was cloned. She also filed claims with Western Union, Moneygram and her credit card companies but hasn't received a dollar back from the more than ,000 she lost.WMAR tried contacting the scammer. The phone number was for a text mail subscriber. When we texted the number, someone immediately responded, but once we identified ourselves, the person did not answer.If you've been contacted about a government grant, that's the first red flag. Grant seekers pursue funds, not the other way around. Also, government grants are not meant for individuals. They're for the greater good, like nonprofits, community leaders and researchers. Grant scams continue to be a common fraud complaint.According to the Federal Trade Commission, more than 6,300 people lost .5 million to grant scams in 2018.For more information on government grant scams, 4036
