Well, people from North Carolina are bigots.
Not all are, but some are, so that statement is correct.
In that context, people from NY, NJ, London and Munich are also bigots.
So, the teacher said something that is correct but meaningless and potentially dangerously misleading.
I'm sure that you cleared things up, as we often did with our children.
Yet another example of why children who can bounce things off thinking parents have a leg up on those who can't.
As a punishment, I'd sentence that teacher to 10 years of watching NASCAR races.
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
