Va. Mom: Says White Students Told Her Asian American Son To Sit At 'Segregated Table,' Alex.

1. always thought these 'roll playing' exercises were fairly stupid

(but that might just be lack of understanding here)
But I'll also go out on a limb and say that 4th and 5th graders - will utilize almost any opportunity to act like jerks. And that sounds like exactly what was gong on here.
(and are we sure this momma's boy 'didn't understand' what was going on .. ? 'cause any half-bright 5th grader knows that he's being spoofed and wound up here.)
