Racial Remarks By Teachers Investigated

Teachers in two school districts are in trouble for remarks they made to black students.
A history teacher at Detroit Renaissance High School told an 11th grade history class they were like some slaves in ancient Greece, that they had to do exactly what they were told, just like the slaves.
A teacher at a Clawson middle school told a group of students who were talking in the back of the classroom, that he realized that African Americans “like to be loud,” but they had to quiet down.
The districts say they have taken action against the teachers and are investigating further.
