Loudoun Co. Virginia, teacher under fire for having high schoolers handle cotton during history lesson

[1srelluc]

History in American schools? Judging by the crowd on here, I didn't think that existed cos American's knowledge of history in general is nonexistent.

Bugger-off subject.

If the teacher was telling students that removing cotton bolls from stems is picking cotton the teacher needs a remedial history class.

Removing bolls (they are not cotton balls) is PULLING COTTON. Picking cotton is removing the tiny seeds. The cotton gin mechanized cotton picking by quickly separating the fibers and removing the seeds.

Are you out of your cotton-picking mind?

Are you out of your cotton-picking mind?

Evidently, I might be the only one who knows what cotton picking is.
