Meanwhile, in Florida...
"The Disney movie “Ruby Bridges,” which tells the tale of a 6-year-old who integrated New Orleans schools in the 1960s, has been a staple of Pinellas County Black History Month lessons for years.
(...)
A North Shore Elementary parent who would not allow her child to watch the film when it was shown in early March later complained that it wasn’t appropriate for second graders. In a formal challenge dated March 6, Emily Conklin wrote that the use of racial slurs and scenes of white people threatening Ruby as she entered a school might result in students learning that white people hate Black people.
Pinellas school officials responded by banning the movie from use by all students at the St. Petersburg school until a review committee can assess it."
I have no words for this bullsh*t. Hiding "uncomfortable" history from children is how we end up with ignorant adults.
@NatalieDavis For hell's sake, Norman Rockwell even did a painting about it. Imagine being so far right that you think Norman Rockwell is "woke".
