"Wear all black in honor of black history month"
"Wear the colors of your favorite African flag"

I have no issues with this.

The black student body designed it! FFS

So what if Marcus Garvey designed it. It is stupid and non-informational. Where is the INFORMED AND EDUCATED ADULT to tell the kids this is not the way to teach history???
Some of you are truly stupid.

who said this is all the school is doing to teach history?

PP had to assume it, otherwise her outrage was all for nothing.

Supposedly this was designed by the students, not by an educator. So no, probably not too much history being paired with these dress up days.

It sounds fun to me. I am Asian. If they wanted to dress up in Asian traditional wear for something I would welcome that too.
