ST. CLOUD, Fla. — Parents of a 2-year-old in Osceola County say their daughter, who they believe is the only Black child in the class, was made to play Rosa Parks in a reenactment that included her being restrained by another student in a police uniform and fingerprinted.

    There are apparrently photos showing the child being restrained by another child in a police vest, which the news agency chose not to share, so it’s a little more than “parents said…”

      Yes, but if they definitely say she was but the school can somehow prove she wasn’t, they can be sued. That’s why even with photo and video evidence, articles will say “alleged” or “person says,” because it hasn’t been legally proven yet. It’s protection from potential lawsuits and legal liability, not bad writing.
