You joke. My third grader yesterday asked if because trump said Chinese flu that's why white people
Are beating up Asians? I shit you not. I asked if that was what his teacher said and he said yes. I asked what were you studying/discussing and said they were talking about Amanda Gorman the chick who spoke at president Harris inauguration.
My first reaction was to email the teacher and ask what the fcuk?!? But the lil dude and our family would be branded white supremacists. So we talked about it. Told him initially everyone referred to it as such. That we have a history of calling sicknesses from the region in which they came. That to make a statement like that is a massive over simplification of what's happening and the subsequent violence. And oh by the way most of the perps aren't white. I was pissed. Still a little hot about it. 3rd grade guys! Third. Math, reading, writing. Don't brainwash my kid.
I know I'm full of white grievance. But that's a massive load of horse shit.
You have a lot more patience than I do. I would have went beyond an email and had a
discussion with the teacher and the principal about this. We don't need any teacher filling the kids heads with their political bullshit, from either side.
We rarely agree but you are right here.

Saw a piece of a TV show on ABC the other night where they had a young boy playing ball in front of
his house. The boy is half Asian half white on the show and when his ball goes on the neighbor's lawn, the scruffy old white dude raking leaves promptly yells "Hey kid, get off of my lawn, we don't need none of that China virus around here!".
The manipulative propaganda quotient was through the roof
They should be told two things. First our former Prez is a jerk as he was using it in a pejorative
way and not to just ID where it came from. They should also be told that Asians aren’t being beaten up over it and that is a massive misstatement.
Only the Cleveland Indians.

Nope. It didn't come from Trump so it's cool.
