content: There is nothing wrong with teaching history. There is something wrong with forcibly reenacting it without the intent to teach. Though we don't know the true intentions of the company, the end result was that a classroom of 8 year-old black kids were out picking cotton in the middle of the summer day and didn't even get to keep it. If you know anything about cotton, then you'll also know it's not something to be done by children, especially without gloves. No parent should be happy about that field trip.  That being said, I love this guy's story. Makes me laugh every time. Idgaf how old it is.
