“Stay Safe” or “Stay Safe” is the name of a curious story about Winnie the Pooh that has not been well received by some parents and school representatives in Texas.

“I wasn’t sure what to do,” said a woman, mother of two, when the little one, who goes to kindergarten, took home the story they gave him in elementary school, 20 Minutes publishes, citing The New York Times.

The Dallas (Texas) school district aroused rejection from a group of adults, according to Spanish media, because the story of the popular bear “teach children how to ‘run, hide, fight’ in dangerous situations such as a mass shooting.”

Sensitivity in the United States to shootings, both in schools and malls, is surfacing.

You could say there was no tact… “The book was distributed around the anniversary of the mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, where 19 students and two teachers were killed,” recalled El Colombiano.

Campos was even more surprised to find the same publication in his other son’s backpack. This boy is in first grade, the mother said.

“Strength, Uvalde!”: A year after the school massacre, the parents of the 19 murdered children still do not understand what happened to the police in Texas, while the shootings in the United States do not stop

What do they say about the Winnie the Pooh story

For Campos it is ‘unsolicited advice’. “The book wasn’t something I wanted,” he said.

He regrets that he has not received a message from the education unit to better understand why they brought that story.

Like Campos, other representatives questioned the publication two weeks ago and expressed concern when reading sentences like this:

“When danger is near, don’t be afraid.” “Hide like Pooh until the police come” or “If danger finds us, don’t stay, run away. If we can’t escape, we must fight with all our strength,” quote 20 Minutos and El Colombiano, who commented give on the illustrated work with the figure of the bear.

The content of the piece also caught the attention of California Governor Gavin Newsom, who criticized, “Winnie the Pooh is now teaching Texas kids about active shooters because elected officials lack the courage to keep our kids safe.” .”

According to El Colombiano, “A teacher told The Guardian she found the lyrics terribly disturbing.”

Winnie the Pooh is now teaching Texas kids about active shooters because elected officials lack the courage to keep our kids safe and pass gun safety laws.

The school district learned of the negative fallout and said it was intended for parents and children to talk about the matter, though they agreed that they really needed to explain more to parents.

“We apologize for the confusion,” and in a statement to the press, they added, “we thank the parents who reached out to help us become better partners.”

Linking the bear to shootings or dangerous situations wasn’t exactly a good idea. It is difficult to understand if you were not oriented in this area before. It’s hard to imagine Winnie the Pooh in any other setting that he’s always seen on his quest for honey.

Action to stop shootings is what is expected in the United States so that no more blood is shed.
