Controversial Mock Arrest of Black Toddler in Rosa Parks Lesson at Florida Day Care
A Florida day care is facing backlash after a 2-year-old black girl was handcuffed and fingerprinted by a white child pretending to be a cop during a Rosa Parks reenactment. The NAACP has called for an investigation into the incident, which was brought to the attention of the girl's parents through images sent via the school's app. The day care has apologized and claimed that the lesson was about equality and respect, but the parents and the NAACP argue that there are more appropriate ways to teach about Rosa Parks. The NAACP is urging the Department of Children and Families to investigate and is seeking a change in the day care's curriculum.
