A parent sent us this copy of a newsletter received by her 6th & 7th graders at Justice Page Middle School @JPMSSTEAM in #Mpls at 50th and Nicollet Ave S.
She's concerned about the messaging to this grade level and the fact that it wasn't sent to parents.
.
.
At the bottom of the newsletter:
"The Rhino Report is a publication of @MPS_News, not Justice Page Middle School."
3/ A follower pointed out to us that the use of the word "Toolkit" is used by higher level protest organizations and wonders who's really influencing this kind of messaging.
4/ Let's pull out some specifics from the newsletter. These messages are being directed at ages 12-13:
"Wear nondescript clothing. Even if you aren’t breaking the law, law enforcement may still try to come after you, in these situations it’s better to be paranoid than careless"
5/ Don't post people causing property damage 🙄
"You’re free to document things with your phone, but please don’t post anything with people’s faces/identifying information in them, especially if it’s someone doing art/graffiti."
6/ This, plain and simple, is fearmongering. In what case would a 12-13 year old student at a protest in #MPLS ever be held for 48 hours??? Never.
.
7/ The first sentence is false information. No charges have been filed. This has not been determined to be a "murder." This is narrative indoctrination by @MPS_News and @JPMSSTEAM.
.
8/ Wear protective clothing.... not 'get out of the area if danger erupts.' 🙄
9/ Giving drug and medical advice without regard to possible adverse reactions, allergies or other possible dosing interactions.
12/ The MPS social media manager messaged to clarify that this newsletter was produced by students during an afterschool Community Ed program, not by MPS as the newsletter indicates.
