Three Los Angeles elementary school teachers decided to give their students pictures of African American heroes to carry in a Black History Month parade.
Good idea.
Among the pictures given out was that of O.J. Simpson.
Not such a good idea.
The three — all of whom are white — have been suspended pending an investigation. Turns out they not only gave out photos of Simpson, but also shots of Dennis Rodman and RuPaul.
Students from other classes carried photos of Nelson Mandela, Harriet Tubman and President Barack Obama.
A school district spokeswoman says the teachers could have chosen more appropriate choices such as Oprah Winfrey or Kobe Bryant.
Kobe Bryant … Kobe Bryant … seems there was something about him … a few years back … in Colorado … hmmm … can’t quite bring it up.
And in any case, to be fair, he has won four NBA titles …
