I was witness to a kindergarten tour at a public library. A group of students were on tour of the childrens’ section. There were kids of many ethnic groups and races. They all held laminated guides to the children’s section. They were flapping them around making noise. One child was singled out for a harsh, “Stop that noise!”. He was a little black boy. I looked at his chaperone and then she said I’m sorry. The little boy walked away. He appeared to be OK. And I hope that he really was.
