A spokeswoman for an elementary school in North Carolina has apologized for a "poorly worded" letter sent to parents in February, which suggested the students wear "animal print" clothing in honor of Black History Month.
WSOCTV reports that the Western Union Elementary School in North Carolina's Union County sent the letter, which also suggested dressing in "African-American attire," in celebration of the school's Feb. 28 Black History Day. The letter was published online by the LGBT rights blogUnicornBooty.com.
"While it was well-intended, it was poorly worded," Union County Public Schools' Chief Communications Officer Luan Ingram said in a statement. "We are reminding all of our principals to be very sensitive in word choices when communicating with parents concerning different ethnic groups and cultures that make up our world."
Black history month is racist.
ReplyDeleteIs anyone else sick of hearing about black history month. I was at Parkside High School the other day and their Black History bulletin board prominently displayed a picture of Barrack Hussien Obama. Since when did Obama become black? I thought Black History Month was for real black people and not mixed breeds??
