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 would say 2 is a little early to start Rosa Parks reenactments.
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.
I doubt that girl was delivering a convincing performance anyway.
The only tired I was, was tired… from nap time.
That’s fucked.
“We need some one to play Rosa Parks.”
“Well this two-year-old has the only notable characteristic.”
They do shit like this and say wokeness makes them feel bad.
"Being self aware hurts our fee fees!
Wow, what a purposefully shitty title
What is wrong with the title? Genuine question. It seems to represent the content of the article pretty accurately.

Except that the school denys that the girl was restrained, which you would know if you read the article. So a journalist can’t say “2-year-old was restrained” because there’s no proof that she was. The only source of that claim is the parents interview and none of that can be taken as fact. Hence, “Florida parents say…”

Yes, but if they definitely say she was but the school can somehow prove she wasn’t, they can be sued. That’s why even with photo and video evidence, articles will say “alleged” or “person says,” because it hasn’t been legally proven yet. It’s protection from potential lawsuits and legal liability, not bad writing.
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.

That title there is everything that’s wrong with “journalists”
As long as the class was taught that the 2 year old gained valuable life skills from the incident and should be thankful to her
