I would have felt like Megan did, too.
These were YOUNGER kids!! Would be more appropriate for mid-to older teens! THAT definitely (to me) goes over-the-line.
It's like, don't mess with my kid's identity.
SEX and sex-Ed is for the OLDER set.
When I was younger, it was not SEXUAL for kids, for girl-friends, and even women into their early 20s, to hold hands while walking. It was NON-SEXUAL affection. -- Now? the kid's are being 'taught' (awakened) to SEX tooo EARLY-- and handholding might suggest in their little minds that they might be lesbians/bi? ... because they innocently love their friend?
That's wrong.
No wonder they're 'confused'?
Let what is INNOCENT, remain Innocent.
Don't plant SUGGESTIONS.

RE black/white ..?
There are SWINGS of the Pendulum that occur over swaths of Time.
Unfortunately sometimes the swings shift toward making errors for a while.
And kids aren't perfect, and can BE cruel.
Sometimes they can 'bully' too.
The black-matters have MUCH MORE involved than 'only' this time period. It's a massive surfacing of wounds from BEFORE the beginning of our Nation.
I hope Leaders come forth with a Special Gift of being able to Unify, and NOT Divide.
I went through an era (more than 5 years!) of enjoying church-life, worshipping and doing community activities with a 1,900 member church that successfully maintained a 50-50 Mix (due to the GOOD and careful conscientiousness of the pastors).
Some blacks say that whites LIE when a white says they don't SEE color?
I take GREAT exception to that.
They are VERY MUCH in error to 'blanket' say that about whites.
I see pigment, like hair color.
I honestly FORGET that I am white!
My black friends knew it too!!
I was alright by them.
--
I was walking around the neighborhood a few months ago. Walked by the kids, who knew me well.
There was a (black) mother who was lecturing a group of kids not to "trust" whites?? {i.e. to FEAR their lives!!!??? around white people??
The kids were watching me go by, and I caught smiles from them, in a good way.... thank God!
