[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are all DCPS schools doing black lives matters activities this week? Just got. Price that our elem is. I suppprt the movement but have no idea how they are framing or teaching this subject. Especially to young kids. My white already fears the police as “bad guys” based on what she hears at school even though we have taught her to seek out of officer if she is lost or needs help in an emergency.   Curious why kinda of activities other schools have planned. [/quote]

Our school does not, fortunately.

We keep honoring African heritage in multiple ways, but we don't let [b]divisive politics[/b] interfere with our kids' education and future.[/quote]

I'm pretty sure lots of white people in the 1950s and 1960s thought that the civil rights movement was "divisive politics." [/quote]

I'm pretty sure we just had a black President elected and reelected thanks to the votes and money of millions of white Americans -- including many who see BLM as divisive.

There's much better ways to celebrate black heritage and to advance civil rights [/quote]

So you think because white people voted for a half black/half white ivy educated man twice that they can assert themselves as experts about why students shouldn't learn about Trayvon Martin and police brutality in schools because they already learn about Rosa Parks and MLK? Nice.[/quote]

Are you asserting that parents should not have an opinion regarding the curriculum taught in their child’s school?[/quote]
Actually, yes. However, if you don't approve of your child learning about Trayvon Martin, you should have an option to have your child do something else. Sort of like sitting out sex ed topics. You sounds like segregationists in the 1950s. Sad that there are some of you that exist in what I thought of as a black-safe city like DC. [/quote]

So other people can’t have opinions in your world, Mr. Orwell?  How 1984 of you. [/quote]

Having an opinion is not the same as insisting a school not continue with a curriculum that your happen not to agree with. I’m sorry that you think it’s not appropriate for your kid to learn about police brutality and teaching my black son how to deal with police while being black in America. I feel Sri got that my son shouldn’t learn about white washed version of Columbus, but I am not entitled to think I have a say in the matter. Pssss your entitled privilege is showing.[/quote]

You said other people can’t have opinions. Are you walking that back?[/quote]

Sorry, let me be clear. Yes, of course you can have an opinion. No, you shouldn’t have any influence.[/quote]
