A Georgia elementary school is facing furious backlash from parents after their students were subjected to signs on campus reading “whites only” and “colored only.”

Students reported seeing the signs above water fountains and in the cafeteria at Honey Creek Elementary in Conyers, Georgia, southeast of Atlanta, according to local outlet WSB-TV.

School officials said a teacher put up the signs as part of a history lesson on Ruby Bridges, the first Black student to desegregate a U.S. school in 1960 at just six years old.

Doesn't seem to be a bright idea.

This has not happened in many decades. Obviously, some people thought it was acceptable with Trump in office.

Doesn't seem to be a bright idea.

Are there only two racial ethnicities in Georgia?

Are Asian students, for example, expected to go thirsty?

Then again, has anybody used water fountains since covid?
Not the bubbler type, surely.

I thought that Democrats wanted history to properly represented .. It sounds like she was showing the students what it had been like at that time... It says that right in the article...

So you think that is OK. You do reveal yourself in your short posts over time. You are able to accept anything the right or Trump do.

It sounds likw it was a part of the lesson... She was explaining how it had been... Do you have a problem with teaching history? I'm pretty sure they were not up there permanently...

Is it a part of
the history lesson?

You don't need to force kids to experience racism for them to know it was bad. A real teacher would know this.
