Teaching about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rosa Parks is always interesting. It's funny to see how they come to terms with the fact that people of different races used to be treated differently. While talking about "long ago" and the laws that were in affect, such as segregation in schools and buses, one student decides to pipe in about an African American student in our class:
A: "But K is in our class AND I'm sitting next to her."
Thank you for stating the obvious. What's funny is that he's hispanic, so he wouldn't be allowed in our class either.
