My kindergartners are coming home with stories about MLKJr, whom I think they think was an actual King. Also, they are very confused about these useless skin color differences - apparently (this is per them) white people used to only be allowed to drink out of certain water fountains and were forced to sit at the front of the bus... but here in Ole Virginny I believe, although we have celebrated MLK day on this date for about a decade now, it was ALSO Lee/Jackson day. We had Lee-Jackson-King day for years, gotta love that one. Now I understand Lee and Jackson have been dropped and for the first time it's just plain Martin Luther King Jr. day. Wonder what the old confederates are thinking about that one...
