Dallas parents criticized a school district that issued Winnie-the-Pooh books to prekindergartners, telling them to 'run, hide, fight' in a school shooting.
She skimmed through the pages and found it was an instructional book intended to teach children — in rhyming lines rendered in curly font — what to do in a school shooting.
“If danger finds us, don’t stay, run away,” reads another, accompanied by a drawing of the characters Kanga and Roo in boxing gloves. “If we can’t get away, we have to FIGHT with all our might.”, sparked a wave of concern from parents in Campos’s Dallas school district, she told The Washington Post. Campos, whose children attend Leslie A.
“Recently a booklet was sent home so parents could discuss with their children how to stay safe in such cases,” the spokesperson said. “Unfortunately, we did not provide parents any guide or context. We apologize for the confusion and are thankful to parents who reached out to assist us in being better partners.”
Campos’s youngest son, who’s now in prekindergarten, didn’t realize the subject of the book he handed to his mother, either. When Campos sat down with him to read it later that evening, she said he still hadn’t grasped the severity of the book’s warnings. That they were delivered by Winnie-the-Pooh didn’t seem to help.
