White teacher won't teach black history OBERLIN, Ohio, Aug. 4 (UPI) -- An Ohio school district apparently believes only a black teacher can teach black history, regardless of qualifications. The Washington Times described Monday how the Oberlin school district has scrapped its plan to assign a certified white teacher for a combined black-history and U.S.-government course because a black instructor was not certified to teach government. "The black teacher is going to teach the course and he will also teach government under an alternative certificate, which our district can secure for him," Oberlin School Superintendent Beverly Reep told The Times. "He is continuing to teach this course because he has taught (black history) for seven years, developed the curriculum." It was reported Kurt Russell, Oberlin's black-history teacher, would be reassigned because he lacked the required teaching certificate for U.S. government. "In the past, the African-American history course was taught by a black teacher and the government course was taught by a white teacher," Reep said in an interview washtimes.com
