My column from Monday. It’s great that Montgomery is raising statues of Rosa Parks. But thanks to the Alabama Legislature, a teacher who tells students about the violent government Parks faced could lose his job if those facts cause a white student discomfort.

Maybe the white student needs to feel that discomfort in order to grow intellectually and emotionally. No growth without discomfort

There was this woman named Rosa Parks. She existed entirely in a historical and political vacuum, she was important.

It seems like this law is targeting a behavior that doesn't occur. It would be nonsensical to tell a 4th grader that they should feel guilt for slavery and Jim Crow. It does make sense to teach kids that they can help solve racism and discrimination. But maybe conservatives don't want that either

Great news for all the people who learn everything they know about history from statues

Or (more likely) the white student's parents.

This feels like the natural direction all this CRT fear baiting would have lead to. Name it impossible to tell the real history.

What if ignoring those stories makes a black student feel discomfort? Can the student’s parents sue, claiming that glossing over those facts is divisive?
