There is controversy brewing within an elementary school and playing a video that features Colin Kaepernick.
Gig Harbor’s Discovery Elementary posted online materials for students relating to the Black Lives Matter movement that was primarily aimed at second graders and reportedly made available on students’ virtual classroom accounts.
According to Jason Rantz of 770 KTTH, “students are introduced to Colin Kaepernick. They’re encouraged to ‘take a knee.’ They’re also told to organize a union and ‘strike.’ They’re introduced to the concept that ‘white silence = violence.’”
A second grade teacher at Grove Elementary in Marysville posted a video animation to their online system.
The video is titled “Animation Series: Something Happened In Our Town.” The video revolved around a young white girl and young black boy’s perspectives of a white officer shooting a black man.

“When the white girl asks why police shot the man, she’s told by her sister, ‘The cops shot him because he was Black.’ The girl’s mom says it was a mistake to shoot the man, noting that, ‘It was a mistake that is part of a pattern’ where white people are treated well, but not Black people,” Rantz noted.
Rantz continued, the black boy’s father tells his son the officer “won’t go to jail.” The boy’s brother says, “Cops stick up for each other. And they don’t like Black men.”
