Controversial Mock Arrest of Black Toddler in Rosa Parks Lesson Sparks Outrage
A Florida childcare center admitted that a 2-year-old Black child was subjected to a mock arrest by a white classmate as part of a lesson about Rosa Parks. The incident has sparked outrage, with the NAACP demanding an inquiry. The toddler's parents were distressed after receiving photos of their daughter in a simulated arrest and booking process. The school acknowledged the incident but claimed it was a spontaneous decision by the class to act out elements of Rosa Parks' story. The parents have since removed their child from the facility.
