[quote=Anonymous]My DD came home from school and told me that a kid in her class was confused because the teacher said Obama was the first black president. The kid piped up and said that was wrong because Abraham Lincoln was black. All the other kids laughed. My DD had to ask the kid why she thought that Lincoln was black? The kid responded that Lincoln freed the slaves therefore he must be black. I think the kid had logical reasoning. So here is my question: is it important to talk about race/ethnicity when studying in school? And, how did all the other kids "just" know Lincoln was white? DD said the teacher was surprised at the conversation. [/quote]
