It depends on how many of your readers have already read it. A follow up story might make more sense than editing this one plus it also ties to the copywriting story. Anyway, I would say that the story was not really about discrimination but how you let the fear of being accused of discrimination affect how you did your job. Do you think you did those kids a service or disservice by how you handled it? Do you think they gamed their minority identity? I don't know. I'm asking you. And then you reacted by no longer having assigned homework be part of a grade. Or did you stop giving any homework? That wasn't clear to me. Your response above about needing the paycheck is what ties it to your copywriting story.
