Mom sends her 2nd grade daughter to school wearing a t-shirt reading “N the N Word” (whatever that means), doesn’t explain to little 8-year old Jaiden (she’s white) why “N-word” on a t-shirt might be offensive to her classmates in her 90% non-white school because she wants to “keep her innocent.” Now mom is upset because the school made her child change instead of “seizing the moment” to discuss the shirt that supposedly encourages tolerance. Now the ACLU is involved because the school violated the little girl’s First Amendment rights, even though the child has no idea what the N word means and thinks Mom only put it on her because “it looks nice on me.”
“I never expected it to be blown up like this,” said the mom. “But innocently enough, Jaiden’s made an impact on society — maybe even history.”
Please. Mother knows (what’s) best (for other people’s children).
