Answer my question. Are your questions serious?
why can't you answer the question i asked before demanding i answer yours?

who cares if anyone said anything to sam? no one ever claimed they did. it's pretty sad that you've been reduced to flinging up strawmen because you're too embarrassed to answer a simple question.

That's what you're claiming, it seems.

That his race, personally, this kid's racial history, was the subject of his school lessons.

And now, kids, let's talk about the fate of mixed race children on a slave plantation, that were once called Mulatto. Like Sam here. Sam, can you please come up to the front of the class so we can all get a good look at you?

You think that was going on?

It appears you do.

His school is not teaching him that doing chores is racist. He came up with that on his own. My kids when there were 13 came up with all kinds of reasons not to do chores. Good going, Mom, for bringing much needed attention to both her and her son. Now he's probably getting picked up at school about this.

That kid is finding out early the the "victimhood" scam can really pay dividends.

do you seriously not understand that the student is not a historical figure?

Who knows what was discussed in that classroom specifically.
The mother obviously thinks it affected him.
But if you don't want to entertain that what other reasons could there be?

But there must be an explanation for why her son thinks that "everything that doesn't go his way is racist", right?

Is the mom lying?
Is the son lying? he doesn't really believe it, he just lazy af.
Is the boy mentally ill?
Was it his friends who put that idea in his head?
Was it Lefty media?
Or social Media ranters?

I am a teacher and I am seeing it more and more. Some students see it as racist if they don't choose MLK as the greatest American of all time.

Which is very ironic since the modern left absolutely does NOT believe the philosophies espoused by MLK. In fact, in most cases, quite the opposite.

Just silly

Almost as silly as the belief that any men don't find Kim Kardashian to be attractive must be homosexual.

Mlk is a great human being and a great American. But the greatest? In my opinion, there is no such a thing as greatest.
