Las Vegas School Probed For Racial 'Duck, Duck, Goose' Game

LAS VEGAS — School district officials in Las Vegas are investigating allegations that a class was playing a game of "Duck, Duck, Goose" that invoked slavery.

 

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Monday that the principal at Rowe Elementary School issued a message to parents about the reported incident.

Principal Jeffrey Schaber said no behavior that contradicts having "an inclusive community" would be tolerated. A parent posted on Facebook that her kindergarten-age daughter last week was taught to play "Duck, Duck, Goose," but as "Hunter Chase the Slave."

 

It was not clear if this occurred in front of a teacher. Schaber said the incident is being thoroughly investigated.
