and i guess i just fail to see the issue here. the school isnt taking a pro militant stance right? they arent endorsing malcolm x, the black panthers, or the BLM movement. kindergarten children are being taught about a peaceful resistance movement that wanted to bring forth equality for everyone. i dont want to tell people how to raise their kid but, to me, it just seems like a real easy conversation to have with your child

Are you aware of grammatical conventions? Or did they not teach you that because they were taking too much time 'teaching' other important subjects?

Somebody please volunteer to start the thread around Lincoln's birthday complaining about their 3 year old being taught about slavery right before snack time.

Its not a matter of belief. Has your kid EVER experienced something that you didnt want them to? Ever? Anything?
If so, you dont get to completely control their experiences. If not, let them out of their cage its supper time.

You're right, OP. That is far too young for a child to be learning about Jim Crow Laws. I'd look into moving your child to another school.

Are you aware that you are a complete moron? You think you can hold your childs hand through life and protect them from all the big bad knowledge that you don't want them to learn too early because it might rattle them? You need a fricking safe space.

Your 'guarantee' is as worthless as the paper it's written on. You are so far from the truth.....

If I employ you, and I pay you every two weeks, I can tell you, to some extent, what to do while you're providing me with the service I've hired you for.
The government sends land owners a bill. Land owners pass that bill on to their renters. You can argue all you want but it isn't free. It is paid for by the tax payer and the landlord passes some of that cost on to renters.
The relationship between the taxpayer and the commodity(ies) for which his tax money ends up being used is nothing like this. Some people pay more taxes than others, but that doesn't mean that some people have more of a say in what goes on in public schools than others do because of it. This isn't commerce or a market.
In this sense, public school is free, and you've no moral right to have your complaints heard or considered when you don't like what's going on in them. Rather, you have the right to pay for your own child's education and then use your vote and voice to influence the system that creates the public education you abhor.
In conclusion, if you're not paying tuition, you don't get to tell the school what to do.

no paper there. Unless she printed it out.

She seems like the type of person who would print an article and mail it to you.

Then why is it that when parents file complaints, schools do everything they can to comply with the parents as long as it doesn't go against their policies? Schools are held accountable to the taxpayer. The government charges people money. That money pays for schools. The people who use that service hold the schools accountable. You are as dense as conservativewifeymom. I bet you put your kid in an information safe space like her and stop your children from learning any big bad information that might hurt their poor little perception of the world.

Some of the responses here are downright crazy and bordering on you know what. I bet those same people don't have a problem when a young child maybe five, six, or seven is taught in rudimentary terms what Independence Day is all about.

You don't understand how taxes work?
Kid: Dad, the teacher taught us about slavery today.
Dad: You go tell that teacher that I pay her salary and she needs to stop that.
^^^Not how it works. Dad does not pay the teacher's salary and has absolutely no mandate over how she does her job that the next voter doesn't have.

Today my daughter gets home from school and tells me they watched a movie about a speech something about a dream. I then said was it MLK she says yes. She then ask why blacks had to ride the back of the bus and other Jim Crow laws. Am I overreacting or is this in appropriate stuff for 5 year olds. Things I now have to explain way before I had planned.
She could've asked you what it was that Mr. Trump said he grabs women by after just watching the news with you.
Now the answer to THAT might be a bit age inappropriate.

No one is saying that's how it works. God you're stupid. If instead of free education, you used the phrase public education, I wouldn't have much of an issue with it.

Let's not assume things about each other, now. No need to get personal.

Not sure why there is outrage at learning the basics about what MLK did. That's not brainwash, unless the teacher is saying "frick whites" as she teaches about it. It takes a good teacher to be able to talk to kids about the subject.
