A bizarre racist outburst at a Texas school board isn't an isolated event — it's part of a national pattern

    So the child was uncomfortable because they don’t believe people of different color should hold hands?

      However, the unintended consequences of that poster made the first grader feel like ‘why wouldn’t I be accepted here?’

      According to the official

        Ah…missed that bit.

        they would have been forced to teach about segregation and racism.

          That could be why, idk. But I don’t think that would be the child’s motive. But the story could also just be manufactured by the official.

            I was not assigning a motive to the child. I was figuring out why the school could not defend the poster.

            The child asked why they might have not felt included, which leads to the followup questions about who was excluded and why.

            And the answers are slavery, racism, and segregation.
