Mom concerned with ‘Monkey Award’ given to her pre-K son

BATESVILLE, Miss. – An award given to a pre-K student in Mississippi left his mother asking questions.

Her son received other awards, too, but the one comparing him to a monkey is something Ellis did not expect.. “It’s unacceptable for me.” “She said the teacher stated that she gave him the award for his energy,” Ellis said. “But the award doesn’t say anything about energy. It says entertainment.” “I’m still not happy about it. I’m angry because I don’t understand why my son got the monkey award when he had received an award that he completed pre-K,” Ellis said.

This news is about the effects of de-humanizing people. Context does matter. A teacher should be aware of the history of oppression, racism and hatred.

This is not Alaska news.

Whatever. If try hard enough you can make anything offensive
