Group Work is Poop Work

For my absolute final assignment in graduate school I am working on a unit plan with two other ladies. It was supposed to be a partner project but someone didn't have a partner so she joined our group. Then she called my original partner a racist.

I diverted the confrontation and asked how we should teach fifth graders about Reconstruction the group member who made the accusation suggested they watch a video on it (kind of uninspired, but whatever) - she was tasked with finding an age appropriate/accurate movie on Reconstruction and a week later via email she suggested (drum roll) Birth of a Nation. I could eat that delicious irony with a spoon.
