Wow.
If they don’t know or have a lot of misinformation about what happened, you could use a description like this one:
... to ensure they get as much misinformation as possible.
It's always a trip to go into the rabbit hole of the minds of lefties.

America was dead the day the progressives/socialists/communists got in charge of education. Rot in hell John Dewey.

If they were concerned about mis-information as they mention in the first couple items, they would use a picture of Trayvon as he looked before he died, not as a little kid.

4. Explain: Millions of people all over the U.S. are sad about and thinking about Trayvon Martin and other people who were hurt or killed unfairly. Hoodie Day is our school’s way to say how we feel.
LOL. Explain to the kids that there are millions more who don't lump trayvon in with 'people who are hurt or killed unfairly.'
Explain to the kids that there are millions more who prioritize their personal security and the security of their family over the feelz of liberal race pimps.
Ah, wait, I already have done all of that- why do I need public skool teachers for?

Oh yes, I do plan on teaching my kids...
Teaching them to police their brass and unass the scene.

Parenting for People Who Can't Be Honest and Straight With Their Kids Want to Live in the Past, in Which We Had Some Excuse For Not Knowing That Martin Was Killed Legally, and That Zimmerman Was Not a Racist (Though We Would Understand If He Is a Racist, At This Point)

I agree, but fortunately this looks like some fringe, lefty advocacy group. Never heard of them until now.

Saw that around the time it first came out. He does a pretty decent job in points 1-5. Point 6 he starts to lose it, and by Point 10 he's well and truly off the rails. E.g. in 10g he advocates looking much close at the character of black politicians than non-black politicians before voting for them. The hell do I care what skin color a politician has? They're all of suspect character just by virtue of being a politician.
Point 11 is another example of abuse of statistics. Given the exposure I've had to black people I'd say that those stats fall in the category of generally GIGO types of studies. Most IQ tests don't even measure IQ, but rather the measure knowledge. IQ is supposed to be a measurement of the capacity for learning. IME blacks have just as much capacity for learning. That the average knowledge held by blacks supposedly is lower than for non-blacks is more a reflection on a variety of social factors than raw intelligence. Besides which, from I see of a lot of white kids these days I'm so sure that gap in knowledge still exists.

Black kids that want to better themselves in school and go on to better things are rediculed by their peers as "actin' white"

That would be one of the "variety of social factors" I alluded to.

So are you suggesting that black kids are of inferior IQ?
Ignorance is one thing. Unintelligent is another.

I am saying the end result of the 2 is the same. And it's often willful ignorance which is extra special

I think the thought is that through social/cultural pressure, they are lowering their own IQ.
I recall that Walter Williams and others have mentioned multiple examples of efforts to pull black kids out of that and out of the public school system and had them performing at high levels. Those efforts are resisted heavily from various groups.

I talked to my kids about Treyvon Martin. It was a great illustration on assault, possibility of grave bodily harm, disparity of force, self defense, and why daddy carries a gun.

And why Daddy doesn't start swingin' at strangers, without a really good reason.

Trayvon Martin was an African-American teenager who was walking home from the store. A man named Zimmerman believed that Trayvon looked “suspicious” because he has a lot of stereotypes (wrong ideas) about young Black males. He thought Trayvon did not belong in that neighborhood, even though some of Trayvon’s family lived there. The man decided to take the law into his own hands‒even though the police told him not to‒and he shot Trayvon. This was a terrible thing to do. It is a tragedy.
This conversation gets interesting when the kid asks, "So, what happened to Zimmerman?"
