A North Carolina charter school hosted a race-based workshop inviting discussions on race, inclusion and diversity, but some say middle schoolers are too young for the topic.
"These are hard issues," Jennifer Watkins, associate director at the institution said, according to ABC 13 in Asheville. "It’s hard for people to understand different perspectives. But one key thing we really need to do is to practice having discussions." Taylor Penley is a production assistant with Fox News.
Similarly, Heather Tate, who organized the event, praised the workshop for sparking conversations about race. Her take was shared on the Crisis in the Classroom Twitter account.
