Ninguém discorda, ninguém diz um ai. Todas as referências a natal, pai natal, anjos etc é eliminada. Uma canção nova tem que ser criada e toda a decoração é em tons de azul com flocos de neve. A festa acontece e os únicos símbolos religiosos admitidos são o véu da aluna e o da mãe, que agradece à professora. Não há ironia, não há uma piada sobre o assunto. Pura moralização.. mas integração não é isto, isto é a #submissão de q fala #Houellebecq. Episódio muito desconfortável de #AbbottElementary

Just finished watching the most recent episode of Abbott Elementary and was curious about the historical photo that they used as part of the show. Turns out it's not from Philadelphia but it is an image from a well known Black photographer Thomas A. Askew, from the collection of W.E.B. Du Bois. More details, and original image over at the Library of Congress

(I love reverse image search so much)
