[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a black with biracial children and wouldn’t complain. As a country we can not eradicate racism without talking about it, modeling the past for children to understand and integrating it into the school curriculum lest we fall prey to it again by not talking about it. I’d first email the teacher to see if there’s a way for you support what she is discussing at school. Also, if you OP are Black then you should already be teaching your child his/her history i.e. Black social organizations, the National History Museum of African American history etc. My DH also teaches my children that not all “white” people were racist even in those times and many  supported the civil rights movement by marching or supported the Underground Railroad during times of slavery. Beware of some people on this board because they immediately odemonize all people —-instead of looking at true context. It makes it hard to discuss race with people telling Black people or anyone whose people has experienced injustice how to feel. If you are not sure of what to do, it’s clear that in your gut you might not believe the teacher was out to offend. [/quote]
Well, I'm Black with black children and I damn sure know that we need to talk about racism and to teach the full depth and breath out nation's history ( not just from the white man's perspective )
And I also know that what this teacher did was dumb, inappropriate , thoughtless and ignorant . I'm going to teach you not to be racist but acting out racism with little kids.
WTF!
Yea, I would have a chat with teacher, a reallll niiiiceee chat!
