Lost in Translation

Something was lost in translation during kindergarten this past week. Martin Luther King, Jr. was discussed at some point as was Rosa Parks, at least that is what I gathered after I put some thought into a conversation with my youngest the other morning. I warn you it is humorous, but also an unpleasant thought, so please proceed with caution and understand that this is according to a six year old who may need to get his hearing checked. The following is his explanation of what he heard.

"Mom, we learned about a black man in the park, we weren't allowed to go outside. And then there was this woman who took off her clothes on the bus and had to go to jail."

Should we be concerned?
