Blue Cereal Education

In an effort to be more culturally aware, the last time I bought random classroom supplies I picked up 3 different 'shades' of Band-Aids - the traditional 'caucasian' version, a darker version apparently intended to more closely match Hispanic skin tones, and a dark brown, which was clearly aimed at Black skin tones.

What I hadn't thought through was that this put me in the position of deciding which one to reach for when a kid asked for a Band-Aid. As an old white guy in a largely Black & Hispanic school, I generally avoid weighing in on "skin tone" discussions - let alone choosing what Band-Aid best matches whoever's in front of me.

Instead, I just pull all three boxes out, which comes across as trying a bit too hard.

Next time, I'm getting Hello Kitty and Batman and such. Problem solved.
