There are some great books for young kids about Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, and MLK by Brad Metzer in a very Bill Watterson-style (Calvin and Hobbes) that resonated with my girls. Another great one is about Ruth Bader Ginsberg that is titled "I Dissent!".
All have good examples of civil (and legal) dissension with examples that kids can apply to their own lives.
Did you even read the piece?
The connection to Common Core is that "His biography has been, not surprisingly, designated as an approved piece of Common Core literature." They are referring to this is the book which they go on to excerpt including the parts they find questionable.
Children at Bluffview Elementary who have been assigned to read the book, entitled “Barack Obama,” published by Lerner Publications and a part of Scholastic’s “Reading Counts” program, were informed on page 40 that despite Obama being a “nice fellow,” many allegedly believed that no white American would vote for him in 2008 based solely on the color of his skin.
“But some people said Americans weren’t ready for that much change. Sure Barack was a nice fellow, they said. But white voters would never vote for a black president,” the book reads.
The book, approved for children as young as seven years old, also goes on to specifically mention controversial comments made by President Obama’s former pastor Jeremiah Wright, while also claiming that the president has worked to bring whites and blacks together.
If you have small children, get the kid's book!

So one time a long time ago, my family was talking about JFK, and my step-mom goes, "Who's that?". We all turned to her astonished she didn't know who he was, even though she was born in the sixties, it should have been burned into her since she lives in America.
Last night, I found this book on the counter. It made me giggle a little. I was also severely disappointed.
