A “children’s” book called “The Power Book” is used as a tool in @WebsterGrovesSD curriculum encouraging all seconds graders to challenge societal power structures.
They teach that Trayvon Martin was murdered by a racist police officer because he was black #wgbuzz
They teach that Trayvon Martin was murdered by a racist police officer because he was black #wgbuzz
This is false. Trayvon Martin was not murdered by a police officer.
From Wikipedia:
Trayvon “was fatally shot … by George Zimmerman, a 28-year old Hispanic American.”
What motivates a #publicschool to leverage a book with a blatantly false story and such bias against police?

In the preceding page, children learn that “the most common type of racism is when white people believe they are superior to people who have darker skin”. This presented as absolute fact.
Students only have two examples of racism: American slavery and South African Apartheid.

K-8 Students search for books within their tested reading level that they are interested in reading. Books in the #library are divided up by Book Level so students can easily find a book within their reading level. 📚
Students can also utilize the AR Bookfind website to find books within their tested reading range. With each book they read, they take a test in order for that book to count as a book that they read for class. If they don’t pass the test, they have to take it again. 📚

The Feast of Saint Francis Ha’Kadosh is surely the best known of the major Christian holidays, falling as it does in the middle of the holiday season.
Like other Christian holidays, it moves around the calendar. This year it falls on Erev Yom Kippur.

“Confirmation” doesn't occur at a precise age but is performed when kids are old enough to understand Christian theology & mitzvot. In most Christian minhagim they're eligible for “Confirmation” within a few years of b’nai mitzvah age, usually before graduating high school.
