A teacher allegedly had black students lie on floor for slavery lesson, sparking outrage

ABC News reports:

A New York City middle school teacher's lesson on slavery in America has sparked outrage after she allegedly singled out black students and told them to lie face-down on the classroom floor.

Students and a staff member at a middle school in the Bronx told the New York Daily News that social studies teacher Patricia Cummings was giving a lesson to several 7th-grade classes about the Middle Passage, the harrowing journey of millions of Africans who were kidnapped and shipped to America as part of the Atlantic slave trade.

Cummings, who is reportedly white, allegedly had black students lie on the floor. At one point, the New York Daily News reports, she allegedly stepped on the back of at least one of the students and said, "How does it feel? See how it feels to be a slave?"
