[quote=Anonymous]Thanks, I appreciate the response and understand.  I'll take the invitation to think about my sensitivity level, as you suggest, especially when the main point of the Instagram post is a great reflection of the amazing diversity and positive students (and delicious food) in the county.

I was thinking that the graphic might be interpreted as potentially discourteous.  I think FCPS should seek to expand open discussion, context, and political and cultural sensitivity at some level, but I see how this could be a misguided concern here.  The student is young, FCPS may have prepared the post, maybe it wasn't meant as a political statement, and it's not presented as a political statement.  On the other hand, it could be viewed as a political statement and it seems objectively disputable to identify Palestine as a country of origin.

That's all I have on this, I appreciate your thoughts.  For reference the post is in the middle of the page at https://www.instagram.com/fairfaxcountypublicschools [/quote]
