What kind of stupid fucked up shit is this?
I loved this:

Anyone who has kids knows that kids pick on kids daily. Constantly. They don't need a reason, and if they do, they'll make one up.
At the end of the day, it seems the kids learned something:

Outstanding. The kids learned first hand that slaves were picked based on certain qualities, mostly strength.
Kids learning by doing, not reading about what happened in a book. When I was about that age, we learned about the liberty bell by making one, not reading about it in a book.
So long as the kids walk away learning about what happened in one of the darkest moments of American History - and learning that it was wrong and that people can't own people - it's all good.
