Related: About this forumWhat are parents teaching their kids in this state?
My girlfriend is an elementary librarian. She was teaching kids today about Nelson Mandela, and her fifth grade group really irked her. She especially found it rude when a girl was like, Whos that monkey looking dude?
Okay, where did she get it from? Because you know she got it from somewhere, to make a comment about a black man like that.
