Former students of a Chilliwack middle school are dissatisfied with their former school district's response after photos of an event where teachers set up a mock slave auction for students caused a backlash on social media. "The students who were slaves would stand on the stage and the teachers would auction and 'buy' them," said Mohammed, who went to the school for three years. The Chilliwack School District apologized for the events saying it takes responsibility and it '"needs to learn from its mistakes." And just as it is wrong today, it was wrong then," said interim school superintendent Rohan Arul-pragasam in a statement. Keriliuk said the school was predominately made up of white students and faculty at the time she was there.
