[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Public school. I am sharing my discomfort anonymously to get varying viewpoints and to challenge my own beliefs about it or decide if I feel like my concerns are valid. No, I haven't spoken to the teacher. I understand the purpose of the assignment. I don't believe in jumping in calling the teacher every time she does something that i might not feel comfortable with unless it is major. I just wanted to get other views on it and bounce my thoughts around.[/quote] I think that the teacher should have run it by you, and any other parents, first. Kids shouldn't feel like they need to be the ambassador for their faith or tradition, particularly not when they come from a historically marginalized group. It puts kids on the spot, and contributes to "othering" in which some kids are set apart from others. [/quote]
