A weekend convention in the Chicago suburbs turned controversial because of a high school skit depicting a modern slave auction.
Two Barrington High School students performed the skit Friday in front of an audience during the 2016 Illinois Junior Classical Convention, a Latin competition, at the Westin hotel in Itasca.
