[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why I liked AP courses in high school. There was an actual curriculum, and an actual book! It was varied and interesting.

My youngest has a class project about role models every week. I think it's wonderful, but so far not one role model has been white- and it's April! My kid opined (and wasn't being sarcastic) that white men have been at the top for way too long because they've never invented or done anything. [/quote]

What my kids learned at school from his teachers - white people suck[/quote]

This is a bit of hyperbole, but I kind of agree.  I’m not even white, and I said this to my spouse.

My kid’s elementary school has a big poster when you walk in touting that girls should ‘Lead Like Kamala’.  Umm, no thanks.  Is this North Korea?  With this crazy propaganda in our schools.

I am the mom of a smart, strong young lady.  And Kamala Harris is NOT a role model in any way, shape or form.  [/quote]

You don’t think it is worth celebrating our first female and first black female Vice President?  You don’t think that’s good for little girls, to see someone like them finally in a position of power?  Do you know how hard women have fought for the right to vote, to run for office, to be electable??![/quote]

No.  I do NOT think it’s worth celebrating Kamala Harris.  She’s terrible.  I have zero interest in my non-White child looking up to Harris as any kind of hero.

Can you tell me exactly what you think she has done as VP that should be celebrated?

If you worship her, that’s great.  But schools (especially elementary schools) should not be pushing nonsense political propaganda on our young kids like this.  It is actually pretty worrying for those of us who come from other countries.  This is what leaders in other countries do to force their political beliefs onto the younger generation.  [/quote]

It’s the fact that Kamala Harris is in VP that the want kids to look up to, not her political beliefs.  It’s the idea that a female can reach one of the highest offices in the land with hard work, determination, perseverance, and luck.  It’s the idea of not giving up on your dreams even if they don’t seem plausible.  It’s the idea that Kamala is a very current representation of that success and triumph.

You’re the one making it political.[/quote]

LOL.  She is a politician.  Of course, it’s political.

And no, Kamala Harris did not get to be VP due to her hard work and determination.

If you want to place a value on hard work and determination (which I can agree with), then there are PLENTY of other less-famous and less-political females that the school can use as role models. [/quote]

You seem angry.[/quote]

Yeah, I kinda am.  The double standard is astounding.  Harris is an unpopular, inept politician.

Would you want a picture of Trump up there as a role model for kids?  Likely not.

I don’t want Harris or Trump being held up as role models for my elementary school kids.  They are both gross.  [/quote]

Explain to me why Kamala Harris is so gross. What has she done to cause such a strong reaction from you? There is no parallel between Trump and Harris. Trump is a fraud, inept, dishonest, racist, and had no business being president. [/quote]

She isn't but the PP feels threatened by a woman in power especially a minority. [/quote]
