I
know this little five-year old boy that got suspended for 4 days
from kindergarten, because he punched a kid in the face. And why
did he punch that kid? Because that kid called an African
American girl ugly because of her skin color. After the little
boy punched him the teacher asked him why. He
said,
"No girl is ugly. All of them
are beautiful like Cinderella."
