Brooklyn Elementary School Criticized for Distributing 'Woke' BLM Coloring Book

The coloring book, aimed at teaching children about Black Lives Matter principles, has sparked controversy among parents.

  • A Brooklyn elementary school, PS 321 William Penn, distributed a 'Black Lives Matter Principles Activity Book' to students as part of Black History Month.
  • The coloring book promotes the 13 tenets of the Black Lives Matter movement, including 'Transgender Affirming' and 'Restorative Justice'.
  • Parents express concern over the book's content, citing its use of 'communist' language and lack of focus on black history.
  • Some parents, whose families fled communist regimes, compared the material to political Marxism.
  • The school and the Department of Education have yet to respond to the criticisms.
