[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]   Schools can teach history, they shouldn't be in the business of promoting social movements, especially ones that have a history of representing police as the enemy.

The subject in elementary and middle school is literally named social studies.

And just today, we learn that another police officer who shot a black man in the back will face no consequences.

The luxury of not having to wonder if police might treat your child as the enemy...[/quote]

And the problem is that someone like you will likely be teaching our children based on your perspective. And your perspective is likely limited to watching some videos on the internet and posting comments on a site filled with people who dislike law enforcement. It's obvious you know nothing about law enforcement or use of force. The last thing we need is people preaching hatred toward police officers to our youth.[/quote]

We can't teach our kids that blindly assuming that police use appropriate force and treat people equally is correct.  It would be great if it was, but black and brown people are targeted for excessive policing, police force, and murdered while white suspects get treated with kid gloves and taken to Burger King on their way to booking.  White people need to understand this and black and brown kids need to know there is a community out there that understands we have to question these practices, has their back, and believes them, even when police practices traumatize them and rip at the seams of their community.
