rachel: a florida teacher is on leave for making white students bow down to black students in the classroompete: you got that right. the middle schoolteacher sharing the bizarre skit on social media saying it was about black history. >> yeah, the teacher that posted the video and went viral by the account of tiktok and struck a nerve due to showcasing the young white students fawning and feeding, bowing to their black peers and the teacher said it was in good fun and no political agenda behind it and the video was being misused and i'm deeply apologetic towards the students studentsand parents and students involved and those not involved. some of the students said they wanted to participate in the activity but the orange county public school district in florida drew a line there writing in a statement starting with, we will not tolerate the use of our children as political pawns by anyone including a classroom teacher. they went onto detail possible punishments that would happen if that were the case and frustrations that a california school district for providing student withs a work sheet

black and brown kids were not there. they felt only gated to do something. rachel: -- obligated. not what minority parents want for their kids. they don't want everything to be dumbed down. they don't want their children to not be challenged to do better. here is the father, his name is -- [background sounds] oh, boy. here's pedro, he is the father of a culver city student. he's a cuban-american, here's what he said. he said, i was born in cuba, and it doesn't sound good when people are trying to achieve equal outcomes for everyone. that's right. if you have an experience with communism, you understand this is not what america's about. will: right. you both have done a good job of defining them. equity is not equality. equity is equality of outcome. equity at the policy level -- [background sounds] sorry that we keep pausing, you can literally feel it in your bones. rachel: yeah. i feel like they're messing with i.

by the black sea corridor, has been using the bites of weeds feed pigs in order to export more port as rather than helping the poorest nations as was initially agreed, archie contributed rachel marston has more. remember all the talk about how critical it was to get ukrainian grain shipped out of ukraine to feed the hungry in africa asia. well, according to the latest real time data published by the united nations black sea green initiative, joint coordination center, the top 3 destinations for ukrainian grain are china, spain, and turkey. and those 3 countries alone represent 46 percent of all exports. so we're talking, all exports being roughly $700.00 plus shipments of grain. china acts as the gateway to asia and turkey acts as the gateway to africa. but what's the deal with spain? spain domestically produces more than enough of the grain that it needs to feed its own people with grain for people accounting for just about a quarter of all the countries domestic consumption, the rest of the grade that the country produces goes to feed its livestock. and notably, pigs, spain is routinely ranked as one of the top, if not the top port producing country in the entire world. wh

firstly, this woman rachel who is looking for her children in order to get into the mind of this mother and the fierce love that motivates her i was really drawing on the wonderful blackn my own life like my mother, aunt and grandmother and thinking how they faced so much in terms of racism and come out with certain qualities like a cautiousness and a watchfulness but also they had so much hope and love still to give and they weren't defined by these experiences but this is a novel about family separation and then also the possibility of reconnection and i come from an immigrant background. my grandparents came to the uk from the caribbean in 1957. when they came they lost touch with all their family out there. my granddad never really spoke to his family in barbados again. still to this day we don't really know why he did that. in the last few years me and my mom and family have been able to rebuild some of those things in the caribbean and it's been so special. that theme of what it means to find your family again was also very personal to me because of that experience. >> what an extraordinary story there. i do want to talk about this. some of our viewers know this
