IOWA CITY, Iowa -- A high school teacher in Iowa has been placed on leave for assigning students to “pretend you are a black slave.”The Iowa City Press-Citizen reports that the assignment for an online freshman class at Liberty High School in Iowa City asked students to write four sentences about what they would do if they were a slave who was freed.“Think very, very carefully about what your life would be like as a slave in 1865,” the assignment reads.
