NY school children's book on race, cop shootings met with harsh police backlash
Fox News
A New York school district is apologizing after an uproar from law enforcement over a book on race and police shootings.
FOX40 reported that the book was read aloud to students. PBA's statement quoted purported portions of the book, which addresses how two characters – a Black and White child – react to a police shooting. When readers reach the Black boy's house, they're taken to his father who is playing chess. The boy's brother, who is also playing chess, says that the cop responsible for the shooting won't go to jail because "cops stick up for each other" and "they don't like [B]lack men." His father adds that while there are many cops who make good choices, "We can't always count on them to do what's right."More Related News
