I attended a Fundamentalist Baptist school from k5-8th grade, a Mennonite high school from 9th-12th grade, and a liberal arts Christian college for two years before transferring to a non-religious university. As you might imagine, it was traumatizing. #ExposeChristianSchools
The textbooks at my Fundamentalist Baptist school were published by Bob Jones University. I was one of the few Black students there & the only Black student in my class. My "Christian" teachers treated me differently. My "Christian" classmates bullied me. #ExposeChristianSchools
I was forced to sit in the back of the room next to my teacher's desk, away from my classmates. I was placed in a reading group below my level (until my parents found out). I was reprimanded and punished for asking questions or defending my work. #ExposeChristianSchools
