[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son’s kindergarten teacher taught a lesson on segregation  a few weeks ago where she built a bus and had the children sit in the order of their skin complexion to demonstrate segregation.  The only reason I knew this is she posted a picture online for parents in the classroom to see. When I first saw the picture it did not sit right with me.  I talked to my son about it and explained yes as an African American there was a time where he would sit in the back but things have changed.  Most recently my son has brought it back up and on a few occasions with extended family has said where they would sit on the bus based on their skin complexion.  This really bothers me and I am thinking of talking to the principal.  Thoughts? Am I making too much of a big deal?[/quote]

This is awful, OP. I’d complain. I’m white. And white people often do things that are well-intentioned but they just cannot see it from another person’s perspective. This is not the way to teach a lesson to such young kids. Especially kids of color.  She needs to get a clue.
