Do we need to send in the national guard to integrate our playgrounds now? How do people see the concept of friendship as a threat to their way of life? That’s your fellow American and a human being, not your enemy.
They started by slaughtering a whole race, then enslaving another.
They can’t back down now.
Seems like we need explicit notes in history class for which things are being taught in order to try and prevent them from continuing or happening again. These “mama bears” obviously missed the point.
That’d be too close to critical race theory
… you, uh, new here? They never thought interracial friendships should be tolerated. And yes. They’ve thrown tantrums about it. (see… the whole civil rights movement era…)
Never in history have conservatives been the good guys. Why would they start now?
There is a bit of truth in that title
Right-wingers don’t think
So what you’re saying is right wingers are hateful racists? Huh
This is not a winning strategy.
It is for Republican primaries, and 222 House general elections.
Wow. That is an insane level of racism if true.
But they will still quote MLK Jr.
While claiming the Democrats are the party of slavery while holding the Confederate flag and holding propaganda associated with being party of slavery.
They had a dream, a dream where all children are created sperate, but equal.
My kids best friend in kindergarten was a black kid. Unfortunately they didnt end up on the same school.
Ive seen no black kids around my sons age at his current school
(We live in Denmark. Black population is only 2% or something)
Denmark in the house. Glad to have your input. Americans need views from the rest of the world. Can I shave a citizenship?
Depends. How is your appetite for red porridge with cream?

So who are my mixed race kids supposed to be friends with?
Themselves?
They would hate me.
From the person complaining:
When asked for an example of what was concerning parents, Dungan replied: “A poster that shows ‘All Belong Here’ with racially colored hands. This was an example that was first brought to me early this year.”
She continued: “I think the intention of the poster was good and the parent thought that the intention of the poster was good. However, the unintended consequences of that poster made the first grader feel like ‘why wouldn’t I be accepted here?’ It had a reverse effect on the first grader because it was in the classroom.”
Not a good argument at all- but she clearly didn’t say kids of different races couldn’t be friends.
That’s a very surface level reading.
What do you mean?
“When another trustee asked Dungan if she personally objected to an illustration of cross-racial friendship, she demurred, simply declaring that she was just trying to avoid “situations like that.” Situations like what, exactly? She didn’t say.”
I assume situations like with the child- but I agree I can’t image they are anywhere near frequent
Are you being purposely obtuse?
No?
So the child was uncomfortable because they don’t believe people of different color should hold hands?
However, the unintended consequences of that poster made the first grader feel like ‘why wouldn’t I be accepted here?’
According to the official
Ah…missed that bit.
they would have been forced to teach about segregation and racism.
That could be why, idk. But I don’t think that would be the child’s motive. But the story could also just be manufactured by the official.
I was not assigning a motive to the child. I was figuring out why the school could not defend the poster.
The child asked why they might have not felt included, which leads to the followup questions about who was excluded and why.
And the answers are slavery, racism, and segregation.
Pre Antebellum Republicans strike again
well that’s just not smart.
Hey uh, you guys don’t actually trust an article from Salon do you?
