“I think it was a rookie error in teaching about race,” Ketchum told the newspaper. “You go for the big term when a less loaded term would be better to make it a teachable moment.
“That’s where this teacher’s going to face a lot of blowback, because most of the students at Norman North are white and come from white families. That’s why they might view this as an attack on them. And I get that. It’s statistically not correct, but I understand why they would react that way.
