Why Won’t Society Let Black Girls Be Children?

I should also say that I don't think that the teacher and principal are racist or intentionally biased (she wouldn't go there if I thought that), but I do just wonder if subconsciously they treat DD different or notice her more because she is only black child in her (or the other same grade) class.

That's a silly assessment based on nothing written here.

Or it could be someone who sees racism in everything. We are only getting one side of the story, so it would be prudent to not jump to conclusions.

My sister-in-law was part of the study and they would come to her classroom and assess her teaching style. The assessment came out and it showed she was extremely biased against boys. Obviously she did not know that she was being extremely biased against boys nor was she doing it on purpose. Well she was slightly horrified to find this out it was good feedback because she was able to just her teaching style.

Teachers are not perfect and sometimes they’re biased.

This is happening to boys too, here's looking at you North Arlington elementary schools.

It started when my preschool teacher labeled me as manipulative and intentionally disruptive. She even tried to film me to prove to my mother I was a problem — she never got that footage, and accused me of pretending to behave at the sight of the camera.
Although I was only 3 years old, she was convinced that my insistent hand raising and refusal to sit still were signs that I was malicious instead of simply understimulated. As soon as I was old enough to understand what happened, my mom didn’t hesitate to tell me the story each time I expressed self-doubt. She wanted me to understand I wasn’t a problem, I was simply an engaged learner. In a world where falling in line was more important than shining, my strengths were a threat.

Data, please, offer data.

Not more outdated racist thinking.
