An Alabama teacher has been suspended pending investigations into a complaint accusing her of ordering her grade six pupils to re-enact the police shooting of Michael Brown, 18,  that transpired in Ferguson Missouri.

School officials at the Brantley Elementary School in Selma, Alabama said they will investigate the matter immediately, following a complaint by one of the mothers about the incident.

Parent Jessica Baughn said she was appalled that the unidentified teacher exposed sixth graders to such violence.

Baughn said that when she picked up her child from school, she noticed that something was bothering him. When she asked her son what was wrong, he started narrating how his teacher instructed them to re-enact the fatal shooting of Michael Brown.

According to Baughn, the teacher asked her students to research the details of the Michael Brown shooting and to perform a skit about it. The teacher allegedly asked her students to make paper guns and bullets.

The teacher also had a skit performed about the 2012 incident where George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin.

Baughn's son, who is Caucasian, allegedly played the role of the white policeman who shot Michael Brown.

School Superintendent Don Willingham explained that the Michael Brown skit came up in class when the topic was discussed as part of the students' current events subject.

Baughn said she was scared about the message the skit sent out to the students, saying that this may result in violent behavior later on.  

"They are teaching these children to hate one another when we're supposed to be teaching them to love one another," the concerned mother wrote on her Facebook page.

Audrey Larkin Strong, the school's principal, also said the re-enactment was inappropriate for sixth graders and that Brantley's culture  does not support such division.

Willingham said the school hopes to finish its investigation by next week.
