The past two weeks, I've been visiting elementary schools to give lessons on Lunar New year to students from K-5. I read stories, do crafts, play lunar new year games, and help out with the Lunar New Year Assembly. Today during my school visit, I saw this hanging around in the library. I became angry. I remembered our class discussions on matters of diversity. I see this as a failed attempt at "diversity." To a friend, I described this as, "they are criminalizing our babies. They are reinforcing what mainstream media puts other there about people of color." I wanted to post this up here and see what are your thoughts?
