Lyon County students who viewed a controversial picture as part of an assignment are protesting their teacher’s suspension.
KRNV–TV reports Elizabeth Clausen is on temporary leave after asking her students to look at an illustration of a white-hooded caucasian police officer pointing a gun at an African American child in a hoodie.
The image was a prompt for the class’s final exam. Students were asked to write about the picture in relation to American history and slavery.
Students of Clausen’s say they applaud her for facilitating a discussion.
