I'm very proud of this little girl....she did what was right and is standing by her beliefs (which are TRUE FACTS).

I am not so blinded as to realize what history is and what is taught at that grade level, hell I remember some of the things I was taught at that age and as I grew up and taking more history classes the "ugly" (read: REAL) truth was brought to light.

I think these parents are upset because of the "washed down" history that is fed to children and as we/they grow(ew) older the REAL truth comes to light....

I really can't wait until the REAL truth about Lincoln is widely known and not something that a lot of people hear about on the History channel or (like me) read it in books when researching for a paper for my history class.

FACT: Racism exist and I believe it will continue to exist as long as people have those rose-colored glasses on (I admit, I like my glasses in some instances, but NOT in this case).

Sweeping it under the rug will not make racism go away, in fact I think it will cultivate MORE racism.

The whole "reverse" argument that some are using...it doesn't fly....brush up on your history (THE REAL History) and see for yourself that "out of the mouths of babes" is true in this instance and a lot of instances….

What most parents should be concerned with is that their children aren’t learning the TRUE facts and history…..
