Totally get what you're saying but not sure I agree. Read my comment at top. They are doing civil rights assignments for black history month. LGBQT has no purpose in that discussion and nothing to do w/ African American history. And they are to cite the act of 1964. LGBQT and the rainbow movement didn't exist back then.
Quite frankly, this kid is using very sound logic that LGBQT shouldn't be jammed into this assignment as it has nothing to do w/ black history nor the act of '64
He quoted what the question was, and it was not the question in the assignment. That's the issue..
You mean what he has in quotation marks in his email?
If so, he's quoting the prior assignment. He said it happened again. This is the second time a LGBQT question has been infused into assignments meant for black history month. Reminder, he's 13. Eloquence in an email shouldn't be expected. Hec, even coherency can be called into question at that age.
The point is he's taking a stand and calling out the obvious: WTF does LGBQT have to do w/ African Americans during black history month.
Ah, gotcha, thanks for clearing that up. Given the context I thought he'd bring up the question he's currently taking issue with.
It doesn’t look like he’s talking about a previous assignment… He incorrectly paraphrases the current assignment which asks to make an argument for or against. I might think he was based if he actually took the time to understand the question before complaining to the principal. Oh but right, because he pulled at stuff like every 2 yr old does he’s actually a genius. 😂
IDK. Think you're reading too much into that. He's 13. I don't know many 13yos perfectly articulate in email form, but he clearly indicates "happened again" meaning this isn't the first time the LGBQT topic was dropped into an unrelated assignment/topic. And he's simply questioning why LGBQT is being introduced to an assignment specific to black history month.
If you were asked to demonstrate how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, would you bring pickles into the demonstration?
I personally know this kid and trust me, he's no "genius" or spoiled 2yo brat. But he is a critical thinker who questions everything and can sniff out B.S. better than most 13yos I know.
