Do we need to send in the national guard to integrate our playgrounds now? How do people see the concept of friendship as a threat to their way of life? That's your fellow American and a human being, not your enemy.

    They started by slaughtering a whole race, then enslaving another.

    They can’t back down now.

    ... you, uh, new here? They never thought interracial friendships should be tolerated. And yes. They've thrown tantrums about it. (see.... the whole civil rights movement era..)

    Never in history have conservatives been the good guys. Why would they start now?

    My kids best friend in kindergarten was a black kid. Unfortunately they didnt end up on the same school.

    Ive seen no black kids around my sons age at his current school

    (We live in Denmark. Black population is only 2% or something)

    From the person complaining:

    When asked for an example of what was concerning parents, Dungan replied: “A poster that shows ‘All Belong Here’ with racially colored hands. This was an example that was first brought to me early this year.”

    She continued: “I think the intention of the poster was good and the parent thought that the intention of the poster was good. However, the unintended consequences of that poster made the first grader feel like ‘why wouldn’t I be accepted here?’ It had a reverse effect on the first grader because it was in the classroom.”

    Not a good argument at all- but she clearly didn't say kids of different races couldn't be friends.
