Controversies

The West Virginia Human Rights Commission is investigating charges that Rhonda Bennett, a preschool teacher at Peterson-Central Elementary School, used a biracial child as a lesson prop and told schoolmates that the child had been adopted. Joseph Mace, superintendent of Lewis County schools, refused to return phone calls and e-mails from The Associated Press but acknowledged the incident to a local television station.[1]
