A Washington, D.C., elementary school is under fire after instructing students as young as 4 years old to go home and identify racist family members.
Students from pre-K through third grade at Janney Elementary School attended an"Anti-Racism Fight Club" presentation with speaker Doyin Richards, according to a letter from the principal of Janney Elementary School, Danielle Singh, written on Nov. 30, according to a report."As part of this work, each student has a fist book to help continue the dialogue at school and home," Singh wrote.
"Anyone else's Kindergarten kid freaked out by an anti-racism assembly today? My kid needed to sleep with a light on and the door open tonight," one parent posted anonymously to the"DC Urban Moms and Dads" online forum."Anyone know what specifically was talked about? My kid couldn’t relay much except that she was scared."
One such activity involves a series of questions that asks the students,"Where do you see racism in yourself? This requires true soul-searching. Be real with yourself, don’t feel guilt/shame and own it. It’s the first step in becoming an anti-racist." In the original version of Richards’s work, the author argues"racism is as American as apple pie and baseball."
