Racism affects the lives of grade schoolers, so it should be discussed with them.
Teachers should teach, not engage in political activism.
And counsellors should counsel.

I actually think most teachers don't know how to use critical thought on race. If it's in the curriculum then that's different. Teachers know how to present material in the curriculum whereas Parents, MAGAs and republicans seem to have a problem distinguishing epistemology Vs pedagogy,

The problem is they can't distinguish between art/culture/history and propaganda. Parents butting into school curriculum is weird and scary.
There's a school in the south trying to ban this image on their school wall painted by famous artist Norman Rockwell
When the mob start going after artwork you know they are some type of crazy cult
Norman Rockwell? Illustrator of the Saturday Evening Post...the corniest artist of the 1950s...is too edgy for them?
The world has gone nutso.

The parents who objected to the painting probably thought it was painted by a trans marxist black artist
If you listen to the arguments against CRT at school board meetings its absolutely cringeworthy.

Once again, politics/activism should be left out of skooling.

Could you explain the meaning of the painting?
Serious question.

It's probably not the original (that's in the Norman Rockwell Museum), maybe a print. An original Norman Rockwell would cost in excess of $50-100 million.

Good to know, but could you explain the meaning of the painting?

It's depicting the forcible integration of the Southern schools in the 1950s, which had to be done by armed federal troops and officers in some cases. Oddly, I would expect any modern objection to actually come from the left, due to the word painted on the wall in the background, as these are the same people trying to ban Huckleberry Finn for the same crime.
So, it is a political statement.
I see.
Point made.
