 The internal investigation is complete of a sixth grade Dallas County teacher who was placed on paid administrative leave after students in her 6th grade class were instructed to re-enact the August 9th shooting death of Michael Brown in class. Brown, a black 18-year-old, was fatally shot by a white Ferguson, Missouri police officer. The unarmed man's death has sparked protests and riots in the St. Louis suburb and around the country. 
 
 Dallas County School System Superintendent Don Willingham says the unnamed Brantley Elementary School teacher is now suspended without pay. He would not say how long the suspension would last, but would say she will be returning to the classroom at some point in the future. 
 
 
 
 Willingham discussed his decision with the principal and the teacher in a meeting Thursday afternoon. 
 
 The re-enactment sparked outrage after a parent of one of the students complained about the class assignment on social media. The assignment started out as an innocent current events lesson, discussing the recent incident in Missouri that has garnered heavy media attention. But, Jessica Baughn, the student's mother, says the assignment just went too far. 
 
 "This is not nowhere near right," Baughn explained. "It was uncalled for." 
 
 Baughn explained the assignment in which her son took part. "She [the teacher] had them get on the internet and look up everything about [the Ferguson shooting]," Baughn says. "They proceeded to re-enact the shooting in class." 
 
 Baughn says the students used paper guns and paper bullets. "They actually shot them out of this made gun," she says. "The child falls on the ground like he's dead." 
 
 Baughn claims a white child played the role of Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson and a black student pretended to be Michael Brown. "I understand talking about current history," the mom explained, "but not re-enacting it I don't... What are we teaching our children?" 
 
 
 
 The teacher's name has not been released by the school system, but Superintendent Willingham said as soon as he was made aware of the situation, he called a meeting with the teacher and school principal. Willingham says he also talked with Baughn about the incident. 
 
 The superintendent said the teacher was placed on leave to avoid any kind of awkwardness until the investigation is finished. 
 
 Baughn says administrators are mad at her because she took her concerns to social media before talking with them, "But as a parent I think other parents need to know," she replied. "That's what's wrong with society right now, parents are not aware of what's going on in schools. They're not aware of what their children are being exposed to, and me as a parent, I want to know," she added. 
 
 The superintendent says he wants all parents to know that if they have a problem in the classroom, they should come to him first.

 An Alabama elementary school instructor was placed on administrative leave following complaints from parents that she had her students recreate the racially charged shooting of an unarmed black teenager by a white cop in Missouri. 
 
 The unnamed teacher had her pupils reenact how Michael Brown was shot six times by Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson. White students played the city's cops, and African-American students portrayed Brown, a parent complained on Facebook. 
 
 "That is absurd to me," mom Jessica Baughn posted on the Sound Off Selma social media site. The mother said students were also told to research the shooting, which has spawned waves of protests and arrests in the predominately African-American city of Ferguson. 
 
 "Then you turn around and make them reenact every bit of it, including the shooting," wrote Baughn, who said she was appalled when her sixth-grade son told her what happened. 
 
 Google Maps Street View A sixth-grade teacher at Brantley Elementary School in Selma, Ala., has been suspended over complaints she told students to recreate Michael Brown’s shooting death. 
 
 "They are teaching these children to hate one another when we're supposed to be teaching them to love one another," she said. 
 
 A school district superintendent confirmed the suspension to The Selma Times-Journal, but would not discuss the matter because it is under investigation. 
 
 U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder arrived Wednesday in Ferguson, where he promised a thorough investigation and called for an end to violence and chaos that has gripped the Midwest town since Brown's killing on Aug. 9. 
 
 Selma, which also has predominantly African-American population, was one of the most pivotal Deep South sites of the 1960s Civil Rights movement. Many African-Americans there were unable to vote until the 1960s.

– An Alabama teacher has been suspended without pay after a lesson this week that had parents fuming. An unidentified female teacher at Selma's Brantley Elementary was discussing current affairs with her sixth-grade class when a student brought up the Michael Brown shooting, the superintendent tells the Selma-Times Journal. That's when the teacher reportedly told students to research the shooting, including where each bullet hit Brown, before the class re-enacted the event in what one parent calls an "absurd" skit, per the New York Daily News—though it isn't clear if the teacher was the one to suggest that idea. WSFA notes the suspension was handed down yesterday after an investigation. Parent Jessica Baughn, who brought attention to the incident by posting about it on social media, called the teacher's actions "nowhere near right." As part of the re-enactment, a white student shot fake paper bullets out of a gun, also made of paper, while a black child fell "on the ground like he's dead," she says. "I understand talking about current history," Baughn adds, but "they are teaching these children to hate one another when we're supposed to be teaching them to love one another." The superintendent said the teacher would return to the classroom in the future.
