brought the four year old to a public splash pad this afternoon and he had a blast and so did every other kid there
anyway sometimes I think about the people who filled in or drained public pools rather than allow them to be used by kids of a different race and just how fucking evil that is
I was really shocked to learn how many public pools have been lost bc of racism. There's a racial link to loss of amusement parks, too. Building expansive new public pools seems like an important civic priority.
I wanted a high school without a pool, so I wouldn't be forced to do swim gym. I was shocked and saddened though when I learned why it didn't have a pool. It is a terrible history.
