My preschooler did in fact come home from school last week hearing from another kid that Christopher Columbus was an EVIL and HORRIBLE man. (Maybe true but I found it inappropriate to her age). While it’s not part of the curriculum, they hear from the other kids. Its ok for OP to seek out what she wants in a preschool - you all clearly don’t want her in yours.

How the heck is that inappropriate? Christopher Columbus was an EVIL and HORRIBLE man. And I seriously, seriously doubt they put it that way.

They heard it from a parent like you presented that way.
Seriously you claim it’s absolutely true but it couldn’t have been presented just like that? Kids parrot what they hear at home. They don’t have an “I’m at school” filter.

They didn't even teach it in school, the child in PP's story heard it from another child. It's not like they had a curriculum day about it - some kid heard it at home and repeated it at school. Welcome to literally every daycare or preschool anywhere. Children will repeat things they heard at home. My child apparently explained in detail where babies come from to his 4 year-old classmates. Oops.

And you think it’s funny apparently. Give people a chance to talk to their children about sex when it’s right for their family. They gonna spoil Santa tomorrow?

That’s funny because we always joke that discussions about sex are like discussions about Santa— don’t go talking with other kids about it.

That said, PP’s point that the preschool itself has nothing to do with whether a kid will say something to another kid is exactly right. And I still don’t believe any preschool asked a kid to “choose” a gender.

Really? He discovered a new continent. What have you done with your life?

DP. He "discovered" a continent that people were already living on, and proceeded to commit genocide. He was criticized in his own time for his actions. But sure, go ahead and glorify him to your kid, ensuring that he/she remains ignorant.

Thanks!

Why doesn’t your TradWife stay home with the kids?

I am the OP of Columbus but not the pp. My point was that my four year old has no idea what a continent is yet. Can we start with CC discovered the continent and present the info in age appropriate manner? Not start out screaming “Columbus was a horrible and evil man?”
I know many of you are like “I’m shocked you think they’d say that in a preschool” but some of the other responses on this thread lead me to believe otherwise. These poor kids are….confused. It’s too much info for a preschooler.

He wasn’t even the first European to visit. The Vikings were here 500 years earlier. We should have a Viking Day federal holiday maybe? With pillaging and mayhem.

PP- good people do bad things and bad people do good things. This is the story of civilization. Do the means justify the end? Maybe not, but the end is our country, which is pretty great. Not perfect, but pretty great.

I’m sorry that people in this area don’t like moderate conservatives but I don’t like the idea of my very young child being taught that he is evil because he is white and that he should maybe consider being a she (at age 2). I think these are certainly topics to be addressed at a certain age but not in preschool.

I would imagine (and hope) that there are other parents in the area that would prefer the same.

Again, any specific school names would be appreciated.

Go away. Seriously. Move to Alabama or wherever else you can find more bigoted people to live around.

How is that bigoted? Please explain.

DP. I'm not sure about everyone else, but I don't expect my kid to learn the evils of Columbus at school. I'm not surprised though when a kid hears that somewhere and repeats it to my kid. Just like when my kid came home with bizarre beliefs about Donald Trump she heard from another four year old. We corrected what she heard and moved on, but it didn't change anything about our choice of school because she didn't hear it from the school. It's just part of parenting that sometimes your kids hears things they don't understand and gets confused.

And the people living here didn’t take the land from anyone else. They were kind people who didn’t discriminate or commit murder, and they listened to everyone’s points of views, even if they differed from their own. I heard that they didn’t have any slaves either.

Uh, yea. They're kids. That's what happens when you live in a society. Jesus Christ.

If OP can find a place for her 2-yr-old where the kids don’t talk about what they hear at home or where every family talks about everything in just the way OP’s family does - all so OP’s child is only exposed to exactly what OP wants. Well then, one would have to assume the children were always asleep at that place or they wear muzzles. Of course, that is not what OP is looking for. Whether she believes that DC area nursery schools are not really teaching CRT to 2-yr-olds is the real question.

OP, you’ll have to go religious for this.
