An elementary school in New York has been heavily criticised after it distributed a Black Lives Matter colouring book containing communist revolutionary terms to children as young as five.
The school, called PS 321, and also known as William Penn, is reported to have given the book titled “What We Believe: A Black Lives Matter Principles Activity Book” to children from Kindergarten through to fifth grade.
The Free Press reports that the pupils were supplied the materials as part of lessons on Black History Month.
The book is centred around thirteen so called tenets of the Black Lives Matter movement, including “Restorative Justice.”
Principle number 2, “Empathy,” is described as “engaging comrades with the intent to learn about and connect with their contexts.”
The report notes that parents of a child in the fourth grade were appalled when they read the book and noted that it used the word ‘comrades’.
The language was particularly shocking to them given that the child’s grandparents had fled Communist China to live free in America.
“They are using words that I don’t think are appropriate for elementary school,” the parent noted, urging that “the word comrades comes from Communist times.”
Another parent whose family fled the Soviet Union noted that the book reminded her “of the songs we were made to sing as elementary school children.”
“‘Dismantling’ and ‘comrade’ and everything—it really reminds me of the word salad that was a part of those songs… same salad, different dressing,” she added.
