One kid had zero tolerance for his teacher when she decided to make Christopher Columbus the subject of the day.
In a letter he wrote to her, the kid (rightfully named King) explained that he didn’t acknowledge Christopher Columbus as someone who discovered America. In short, he acknowledged that Native people been here, so why should Chris be getting all the shine.
That’s not all he said. King’s letter was posted to Facebook and he basically came for the teacher’s entire career. Swipe through for some highlights!
“Today was not a good learning day. Blah, blah, blah, I only wanted to hear you not talking. You said something wrong and I can’t listen when I hear lies.”
“My mom said that the only Christopher we acknowledge is Wallace. Because Columbus didn’t find our country, the Indians did.”
“I like to have Columbus Day off, but I want you to not teach me lies. That is all. My question for the day is now can White people teach Black history?”
