Kids TV now has equality and race adverts at practically every break, they know the score.

...from a ‘school/educational’ type perspective, Annie...this type of thing is very positive in the opening up classroom conversations../debates etc...similar to when we’ve had political elections .../...both here and in the USA ...(...many primary children have very definite Donald Trump opinions../ ...as they do with Boris Johnson and they are able to vocally reason their opinions, excellently ...)...so many significant political issues/events etc are totally appropriate for children if presented and introduced in the right way as an opening to discuss and to ask about etc../... I personally feel this was...helping and preparing children for their ‘Voting age’ in being more politically aware, as it were...is a good thing for familiars and schools...BLM related things are very much appropriate for all ages....and presented as dance was perfect for families to watch together, I thought...
