[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DON"T[/quote] Don’t what? Don’t read a great kids book? Don’t answer the child’s question? Don’t what?!! [/quote] Why are all of you being deliberately obtuse? Don’t try to have a complex conversation about anti-racism and sexism with a 3.5 yr old. They are not going to understand. [/quote] So how would you answer the child’s question? “Why did Mae’s teacher say she couldn’t be an astronaut?” [/quote] They used to teach black children away from white children. Those children were told they couldn't be astronauts. They used to teach girls that they'd grow up to be mommies, wives, maybe teachers or nurses. They were told they weren't smart enough to be astronauts. Doesn't that seem silly to you? Aren't you glad we've learned more?[/quote]
