[quote=Anonymous]The problem is not the lesson, per se, but the grade/age at which they are trying to teach it. I'm the pp who wrote about the Rosa Parks skit. I wouldn't have really objected to it in 5th grade. By K, my dd hadn't been given any reason to think that some people might view her as inferior and I wanted to wait a bit longer til she could absorb the nuances of that. For the white kids, it's potentially an interesting lesson about white privilege. For black kids, it is being smacked in the face (possibly for the first time) that people view them differently (and inferior to) their white classmates.[/quote]
