Can Kindergarteners really understand the controversy in Jena at that age? I think there are many positive ways to teach children to love thy neighbor.

Can you imagine the stink if a white teacher had done this? I wonder who would get here first Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson.

Moreover, If the teacher was black, and the student(s) were white, would Al and Jesse be racing to the scene? It's hard to imagine how Al and Jesse do not see themselves has racist or at least hypocritical.....
