Parents of a 2-year-old in Osceola County say their daughter, who they believe is the only Black child in the class, was made to play Rosa Parks in a reenactment that included her being restrained.
ST. CLOUD, Fla. — Parents of a 2-year-old in Osceola County say their daughter, who they believe is the only Black child in the class, was made to play Rosa Parks in a reenactment that included her being restrained by another student in a police uniform and fingerprinted.
I'd say day care as a whole is too young. If you want to give toddlers a lessons on race, tell them that the 2-year-old black kid is no different from the rest of them. Which is really easy: treat her as no different from the rest of them. Kids, amazingly, learn that lesson just by watching.
We deeply regret the assumption that our teachers, our leadership or our administration would in any way choose to make a child feel uncomfortable or negatively singled out.
Assumption? ASSUMPTION????
There were literal photos ffs!!
What a way to blame the parents for the school admin's stupidity.
I took it to mean that the child was kept from attending the reenactment, probably for behaving like a toddler at a Rosa Parks reenactment, and restrained inappropriately as punishment. What happened wasn't a whole lot better, but not what the title led me to believe.
