[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] This particular woman's words were something like "My son says it's the same thing, every year. We need to add to the program! We need to get kids more into the history!" She obviously didn't think the school did enough to teach new things.[/quote] This is my opinion too, actually. (I am white.) The lesson every year is, "There was segregation, and that was bad, and then Ruby Bridges went to school, and Rosa Parks sat on a bus, and Martin Luther King Jr. said, "I have a dream", and then everybody had civil rights." This is appropriate for kindergarteners, but I think that fifth graders would be ready for a bit more.[/quote] Yea -- cause there is more to black history than slavery and the civil rights movement[/quote]
