[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is insensitive to treat Black History Month like Homecoming with a "spirit" week. There is no education involved. Our ES is doing a living wax museum where kids who want to participate choose a person, research them, write and memorize a first person speech about their lives and then yes, dress up like them for the living museum. Our school is about evenly split between white kids, black kids and latino kids. The message that went home was very explicit that children should not darken their skin in anyway when they dress up like their selected person.[/quote] Are we assuming that this is the sum total of all bhm activity at the school?[/quote]
