WESTCHESTER SCHOOL UNDER FIRE FOR CARTOON COMPARING COPS TO KKK, SLAVE-OWNERS

From time to time this blog receives comments and questions regarding the current state of public education and what is currently being taught in local schools---from gender issues to revisionist history, socialist ideology, etc. etc. etc. 

As always, parents are encouraged to address these matters directly with their school district, attend meetings, write letters, (and more) as opposed to simply venting on social media.

In the meantime: 

A Westchester County high-school teacher kicked off his first day of classes by handing out an image on the Black Lives Matter movement — comparing modern-day cops to slave owners and the Ku Klux Klan.

Westlake HS educator Christoper Moreno gave his 11th-graders a handout Sept. 8 which included a five-frame cartoon panel.

The first three frames show slave owners and a member of the KKK with their knees on the backs of black men in shackles. The KKK member also has a noose around the black man’s neck......“My daughter showed me the paper. I said, `What is this?! You’ve got to be kidding me!’ ” said Westlake mom Ania Paternostro. “This cartoon compares the police to the KKK. It’s an attack on the police.”
