An “inflammatory” children’s book being spread to New York City schools teaches kids as young as 2 that the idea of race was formed by white people who insisted they were “better, smarter, prettier, and that they deserve more than everybody else.”
The book “Our Skin” was penned by Harlem activist Megan Madison and Brooklynite and library worker Jessica Ralli and published last year. It starts with a simple conversation regarding skin tones — then launches into a screed that blames the race's notion on white people and an illustration of scary-looking human skulls encased in glass and sitting on shelves.
