Why would any adult, regardless of color, put a noose around a small child’s neck to show why nooses are important to their history and because some stupid rednecks put up nooses in Jena?

GRAMBLING, La. — Officials at Grambling State University were meeting Monday after the school newspaper ran photographs of adults at a campus-run elementary school putting a noose around at least one child’s neck.

Kindergarten and first-grade students at Alma J. Brown Elementary School were being taught why nooses are a symbol of racism, an article from the historically black university’s student newspaper said.

The article said the children also were being taught about the “Jena Six” — black high-school students who are accused of beating a white schoolmate. Court proceedings brought about 20,000 to 25,000 people to Jena, about 70 miles from Grambling, for a civil rights march in September.

A press release posted on the Gramblinite’s Web site said three photographs from the event were removed after a staff conference call. Ten others were re-posted to the site Monday after the university’s president ordered the removal of all the photos and the story over the weekend, according to the Gramblinite press release.

I can understand teaching children about racism, but this doesn’t help us to fulfill Martin Luther King’s dream of everyone working and playing together regardless of the color of their skin.

This is an outrage! What do the parents think of their child being put into a noose?

How much fear did they put into this little girl, all to prove a senseless point that could have been discussed and shown in drawings for illustration purposes?
Shame on the lot of them! The whites who did what they did with nooses and the African-Americans who did what they did to this little girl and how many others?
