They Meant Well, I’m Sure
Today during 7th period, I overheard my students talking about how much they and their friends were purchased for. “Did you hear, Jose was bought for $100?!?” “No way! Servando only cost $60.” And so on. This is indeed a curious conversation to overhear, so I investigated. The high school I teach at decided it would be a good idea to hold a Valentine’s Day Dance (not weird, lots of high schools do that). Thomas Jefferson HS went a step further with a date auction. Where they sold people as (love) slaves. During Black History Month.
