Scott Norvell over at Tongue Tied notes that a Dallas-area parent has demanded that her child's pre-school change it's logo because it features only a white kid.
Leslie Moore, a teacher in McKinney, Texas whose child is in the preschool program, says the logo is racist.If the logo is talking to her, she has bigger problems than perceived racism."It sends the wrong message," she said. "It's telling me that every other ethnic race other than Caucasian is inferior to the Caucasian race."
Even though tee shirts and bags are already being printed, along with letterhead, school officials have stopped everything and will meet with Moore to discuss trading the offensive image for another logo that depicts the gorgeous mosaic of ethnicities that is the McKinney school district.
Um...my impression is that most pre-schools are privately run affairs. And pre-school attendance is not compulsory.
Why should the school have to change to accomodate Ms Moore? Ms Moore is free to take her kid somewhere else if it bothers her that much.
