Is not even being taught. That’s as much as kids learn. At least in first grade. During virtual school during this pandemic, my first grader niece had a lesson on Ruby Bridges. The passage above was basically it, and Ruby sat in a class by herself. There was no further discussion. My niece asked me why they were being mean to Ruby. She has not been exposed to the cruelty of racism. Missed opportunity to have a meaningful discussion, even with first graders. Now you have these idiots trying to ban even the little that is taught
