I was upset when I heard about parent complaints about a class debate. Any debatable topic should really be available for a teacher. But these parents were simply being ignorant, and from two different sides.
One group claimed the debate about civil rights and whether to use force or not was against God's teachings. Basically, the claim was that it's OK to protest against something if God has ordained it through elected officials, but not if it's something the people have mandated.
The other group claimed it must somehow be racist. Some people think everything must be racist.
Both groups are wrong, as can be seen in this article.
Allow your school and students to debate worthwhile topics. Parents, stop being like this. Your child does not benefit from your ignorance.
