Children and history (and the present)
Dec. 5th, 2008 07:50 amThe New York Times has an interesting editorial this morning about parenting and the news. In this case, upsetting or sensitive news, particularly involving death or "man's inhumanity to man".
We are talking about the Civil Rights Movement at home. Not about the fire hoses and the dogs (or Emmett Till). but about Thurgood Marshall and Martin Luther King Jr. (Although I am annoyed at the children's book on MLK, it goes straight from his childhood to the "I have a dream" speech and never mentions that he died).
