newscaster does a BAD thing in my classroom
so today the 4th grade had a concert for veterans day and the island news station came to visit it. after the concert, they came to my class to film. they filmed for like an hour and after they were done, they stayed for autographs and such. i hear the newscaster say to a boy in my class, "give this to your father" so i assumed it was an autograph. when they left, the boy came to me and was like WTF is this? it was a "Jesus saves...come join my church to be saved" pamphlet. i almost died!!!! i let the principal know and she almost had a heart attack! my class is predominantly black, but he gave it to a white boy. he is black himself. did that have something to do with it?
besides being inappropriate, what was he thinking??? you don't tell a 4th grader that he needs to be saved to go to heaven!!! especially not in a public school! what is wrong with him? and why would he give it to one student? thank god that student came to me. why did he single out this student and again, what was he thinking!!! it ruined my day.
so my question is what do i do? should the principal call the station and complain? remember that this is a public school. separation of church and state. it was totally inappropriate. the thing is, we need them to film in our school. but this was so WRONG. what should I do?
