A teacher at Winterville Charter Academy was forced to resign after telling black students they’d be her “field slaves” if not for the Constitution, according to the parent of a child in the classroom. The unidentified teacher singled out black students during a lesson on the Constitution in late September that led to alleged bullying by other pupils. “She had them raise their hand during a constitutional lesson and reminded them that if it wasn’t for the Constitution, they would be her slaves."(New York Post)

Sign the petition to urge Winterville Charter Academy to release the name of the teacher Involved in the incident. Because of this woman's unidentified status, she can continue to work in other schools in NC and spread hate/biases to the youth of our community. This would also allow for individuals to accurately report this incident to the NC Board of Education.

We are also urging this Charter Academy, to craft, and implement an Anti-Racist Policy. The policy should state the academy's commitment to anti-racism, and lays out procedures that must be followed in order to uphold the academy's commitment to the cause of dismantling racism to create an inclusive, equity-oriented environment.
