I agree with pp that the very fact the teacher was doing this lesson means she was trying to teach students not to be racist. However you choose to approach her, please assume she did this with goodwill and start from a place where you two agree on the important goal of teaching about racism. I would just mention that she might want to do it using shirts or something in the future to make it less uncomfortable for black children. If the teacher was white (everyone seems to assume this but we don’t know), I expect she will be mortified that it was received that way.

Be nice, people. The odds that a kindergarten teacher is a giant a$$hole are low.”

Spot on. [/quote]
I really hate when people  discount racism by thing they really weren't trying to be racist !
I don't give a f*** if the effect was racism then than that is the effect.
Some of you are so worried about your own damn feelings that you make that the focus instead of the effect of the actions.
DEAL WITH THE EFFECT AND HOW THE OTHER PERSON WAS AFFECTED.
Then maybe later you can deal with whether or not the person INTENDED to be racist.
Geeezus!
If someone runs over you with a car do you lay there saying, well he did not mean to hit me, or does someone get your a** to the hospital and see to your injuries???[/quote]
