I'm not a teacher. I'm a writer. My post was just remembering my JH/HS days. Teachers definately had discussions about how blacks were treated, but as I said in my post, I never thought about what my black classmates felt. rosemary, thank you for commenting.

I don't know what grade you teach but when I was in high school 12th grade (1998). Our class watched "A Raisin in the Sun" a good play I probably didn't appreciate at the time. At the end of watching it and reading it we had to answer questions. One of the questions was what word did the mother not want to hear in her house? I raised my hand thinking I knew for sure and I was totally wrong. I said nigger and the whole class was amazed that it came out of my mouth. The correct word was cracker, something about respecting other people. But without reading/watching the play closely you'd never think that was the answer.
