re: parents furious 7-year-old, ‘the only white girl in her class,’ cast to play supremacist

They were portraying one moment in history, one small, two-second moment in history. It may not be appropriate but it happened,” Ms. Lake said

So did the holocaust but second graders don't do plays about putting Jews in ovens.

In the video there is a black student holding a sign that says "Go Back to Africa." Clearly the topic seems a bit inappropriate for young children, but it seems some black children were also cast in a "racist role."

But I find it interesting that the parents pulled their kids out of the school for this, while they let their kids attend a school that has proficiency ratings around 15% for all subjects compared to the state averages around 35-40%.

This is the kind of shite that can frick a kid up for life.

It's called Mental Rape!

Because you cannot just pull kids out of a public school and put them in another with the district’s permission.

That's weird. Their official district policy says otherwise:

Public School Choice Framework

---

Parents of K-12 public school students in Georgia have the option to enroll their child in any school within the local school district in which they now reside.

quote:

---

A parent/guardian can elect to send a child to another public school in the same district as long as there is classroom space available at the school after its assigned students have been enrolled;

---

So why would you say that they can't enroll in another school when they can enroll in another school?

They have that in our school district too. The school cannot be at a certain capacity level and parents have to provide transportation. Most working parents cannot bring their kids to school and drop them off everyday. There’s your answer. And I bet you don’t have kids.

I just called Betsy Devos. She's on it.

So the parents can NOW send their kids to a different school, IMMEDIATELY following this incident, but they couldn't do that the entire time their kids were attending the WORST ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (Burnett) in the district?

Douglas County School Rankings

Here are their rankings:

CCRP--Broad Measure of Performance (2017)
State Average--73.9
District Average--70.6
2nd Lowest School--57.6
Burnett Elementary--53.1

Achievement Points
State Average--Not Available
District Average--30.6
2nd Lowest School--22.7
Burnett Elementary--19.3

So these parents:
--Know there is a play.
--Don't think their children will be in the play.
--Yet, still care enough to put aside whatever they would have been doing so they can attend it on time.
--AND even videotape a play of children who are not their own since they didn't know their own child would be in it.

Yet they somehow
--They somehow didn't know what this play they set aside their plans to attend is about.
--Despite setting their plans aside to attend, somehow didn't find out their own child was in it.

Then afterwards
--They complained about not knowing their child was in it.
--Complained about their child's role
--Complained about not giving permission for her to be in it.
--Complained about not giving permission that their child to be photographed and/or have video taken.

After they complained
--The teacher explained how the situation transpired-
--The teacher apologized for offending them
--The teacher thanked them for making her aware of her mistake

But after the teacher's explanation
--They pulled their kids from the school.
--Went to the news station.
--AND THEY PROVIDED A VIDEO OF HER OWN CHILD AND A BUNCH OF OTHER CHILDREN THAT IS NOW IN THE NATIONAL NEWS EVEN THOUGH THEY COMPLAINED ABOUT NOT GIVING CONSENT TO HAVE THEIR CHILD PHOTOGRAPHED OR VIDEOTAPED.

Wtf is wrong with these teachers?

White liberals are retarded.

They should honestly be killed before they spread their message.

I mean. Does his outrage require his attention at all times? It's a strange criticism.

What does the parents outrage level and your approval of it have to do with the appropriateness of the play?

This is definitely what they call ...... indoctrination!!!
