Teacher takes first-graders on ‘field trip’ to Black Lives Matter rally
Stef Bernal-Martinez, a self-described “Radical Queer Progressive Educator” at Central Park School for Children in Durham, North Carolina, took her entire first grade class to a local Black Lives Matter rally this past Thursday.
Yes, during the school day.
Bernal-Martinez claims it was the students’ idea to participate.
“The project that my class took on in this quarter was a study of the Black Lives Matter movement,” she says. “And so, we’ve been investigating and asking questions about the issues and the causes that people are fighting for, and my kids really took it on. And they were very excited to, sort of, join the movement themselves.”
“They were like, ‘Well, people in the civil rights movement and people in the Black Lives Matter movement have always changed things by marching. We need to march.’”
