1st Grade Students learn about lynching - by example

Published by Karl at 11:09 pm under Idiots, OTA, Schools, racism

Since school lunacy is hot today, here is an even more outrageous case of what I consider flat out abuse.

Hat tip this time to Sister Toldjah:

Check out this appalling story, via the Monroe, Louisiana News Star:

A recent incident at the elementary school on the Grambling State University campus that resulted in a noose hanging around a small child’s neck has left university officials scrambling for answers.

Grambling State University President Horace Judson was driving to Dallas on Friday afternoon for the Saturday football game between GSU and Prairie View when his secretary called him, describing certain pictures that had been posted online by the student newspaper, The Gramblinite.

Among the photos immediately ordered taken down by Judson was one of a young girl in a school uniform, a noose around her neck, being hoisted by a woman who may have been a family member.

Lovely, just friggin lovely.  Here is one of the pictures in question via Sweetness and Light:

And there is more:

According to an article in the newspaper written by Justin LaGrande, posted on the student newspaper Web site some time this week, and sent to The News-Star by Ruston Daily Leader publisher Rick Hohlt, “kindergarten and first-grade students at Alma J. Brown Elementary will always remember the day they marched for equality. The children marched in protest of the imprisonment of Mychal Bell, and the seemingly racial bias shown toward blacks in a small Louisiana town.”

LaGrande wrote that while the students “marched,” they actually only circled their playground with their teachers during the event.

“Before marching, the students were taught about racism,” LeGrande wrote. “They also learned about the events surrounding the ‘Jena Six’ and their arrest.”

According to the article, teachers “had a replica noose and explained why it is such a symbol of racism. They also allowed the children to carry chains and shackles

See more at Sweetness and Light above.

This is just ridiculous.  Why should First Grade kids, 6 years olds, be subjected to this?

Oh right.  Progress and liberalism.

Hi, my name is America, and I seem to have lose my common sense…have you seen it?

    Negative Training…

    …is a term used when the training is so bad that it will require effort to unlearn what happened in the training period.
    This, however, is worse.

    I also have gay friends but they are not libs they are conseratives. They think the whole San Fran thing is sick. Just like in DC when they have their parades. Working in DC it’s hard if not impossible not to work with gays. None of the people I know would tolerate this kids being at that parade. Someone I know wants to start an action on these parents for taking the kids there and have them removed from their custody. I’ll sign their paperwork when it is ready.

    I did hear about the Russians leaving enmass on the radio and the newsman asking why? I haven’t heard any reasons why yet.

    These morons putting that little girl in this sick display should be arrested and charged with child abuse. These are the more ignorant of any society.
