I would say 2 is a little early to start Rosa Parks reenactments.

I'd say day care as a whole is too young. If you want to give toddlers a lessons on race, tell them that the 2-year-old black kid is no different from the rest of them. Which is really easy: treat her as no different from the rest of them. Kids, amazingly, learn that lesson just by watching.
I doubt that girl was delivering a convincing performance anyway.
The only tired I was, was tired… from nap time.
That's fucked.
"We need some one to play Rosa Parks."
"Well this two-year-old has the only notable characteristic."
They do shit like this and say wokeness makes them feel bad.
"Being self aware hurts our fee fees!
We deeply regret the assumption that our teachers, our leadership or our administration would in any way choose to make a child feel uncomfortable or negatively singled out.
Assumption? ASSUMPTION????
There were literal photos ffs!!
What a way to blame the parents for the school admin's stupidity.
As long as the class was taught that the 2 year old gained valuable life skills from the incident and should be thankful to her ~~tormentors~~ educators.
Wow, what a purposefully shitty title
What is wrong with the title? Genuine question. It seems to represent the content of the article pretty accurately.
"Florida parents say..." implies that there's a possibility the child wasn't actually restrained.
Compare with:
"2-year-old girl was restrained during Rosa Parks reenactment at Florida day care"
Except that the school denys that the girl was restrained, which you would know if you read the article. So a journalist can't say "2-year-old was restrained" because there's no proof that she was. The only source of that claim is the parents interview and none of that can be taken as fact. Hence, "Florida parents say..."
There are apparrently photos showing the child being restrained by another child in a police vest, which the news agency chose not to share, so it's a little more than "parents said..."
Yes, but if they definitely say she was but the school can somehow prove she wasn’t, they can be sued. That’s why even with photo and video evidence, articles will say “alleged” or “person says,” because it hasn’t been legally proven yet. It’s protection from potential lawsuits and legal liability, not bad writing.
Reading the article, it seems like there is indeed a possibility she wasn't restrained. The parents say she was, but the pictures mentioned only show her with her hands behind her back.
I took it to mean that the child was kept from attending the reenactment, probably for behaving like a toddler at a Rosa Parks reenactment, and restrained inappropriately as punishment. What happened wasn't a whole lot better, but not what the title led me to believe.
That title there is everything that's wrong with "journalists"
