What are parents teaching their kids in this state? [View all]

My girlfriend is an elementary librarian. She was teaching kids today about Nelson Mandela, and her fifth grade group really irked her. She especially found it rude when a girl was like, ‘Who’s that monkey looking dude?’

Okay, where did she get it from? Because you know she got it from somewhere, to make a comment about a black man like that.
