Yeah the timing of it was impeccable. The only kids I know that are even aware of the impact of swastika would have are the kids who have been indoctrinated from birth to believe they are victims and the people are perpetually out to get them by smearing this all overt them. Nobody is. In my Middle Schooler’s friend group, the only kids he has ever heard use the N-word are the students of color themselves. And it’s widely known that they get a pass the same way that Asian kids use Asian specific slurs as a way of reclaiming power and the white kids joke about being white kids.


You sound like an anti-Semite among other things. My child was not indoctrinated from birth to believe he’s a victim. Swastikas are offensive. We live in a world of increasing anti-semitism. I really do hope you’re not a parent at Wooton and just a troll.


How can swastika by itself be offensive if your haven't been indoctrinated?

Swastikas are bad because Nazis wore them while Naziing. I'll take a million swastikas over one Nazi Naziing.

But I'm not sure the current set of policies are effective. I told my (AA) husband about the incident and he was really annoyed.

He said that he had two (AA) friends as a kid. Some troublemakers ran up to both of them separately and taunted them with the N word. One friend started chasing the troublemakers, threatening them, etc. And the other just repeated the word back to them calmly. From that point, the trouble makers kept harassing the first friend and basically just ignored the second. They were looking for response and got it from one but not the other.

I don't know how to reconcile this with our current situation. I certainly can't support a decision to not penalize troublemakers and not support those who were targeted. But it seems like it needs to be done matter-of-factly and consistently. But without the emotion that we've been displaying recently.


No one was targeted.

A black student printed out the word 1000 times on a printer and 2 staff found it. Didn’t notify the principal for 2 days.

A black student wrote the n word on a desk and another student eventually found it and reported it to the teacher who took a picture. Notified the principal the next day.

Both situations were then sent out via letter by the principal the day after he found out.

We need send Bostic to every high school.


Teacher at Northwood here. I love Dr. Bostic and think he is a wonderful person and will be a great principal but I also have to speak some truth to the over praise of him.

He unofficially took over in November and student behavior got significantly worse. We started having more fights and the amount of kids in the halls increased. He lacked the structures of an experienced principal. Also, his communication style is very confusing and he stacks too much information into multiple links. I think he will get much better at this but I am also very glad to have Dr. Garrick back in charge.


This. I’m also part of the Northwood community. Dr Bostic is pretty good but everyone is acting like the dude walks on water or something. He reorganised BTSN and it was kind of a mess. His favourite line is - Have a good day on purpose. Cute and all but whatever. Standards are pretty low if someone doing a good job is suddenly “amazing and incredible”

Go for it!


We didn't get NO letter.... should be We didn't get a letter.


What a pedantic response. The PP was obviously intentionally using a colloquialism. Condescend much?


Intentionally? No.

Principal Nelson is 1/2 Asian. Seems kind of odd to punish him for the acts of two black students. if the BSU complained then it seems that the BSU has an axe to grind against Nelson.

Go to any HS that has Black students. You'll probably hear the N word used among Black students ALL the time. If a non-Black student used it against a Black, then it's racist??

No, please try to keep up. When a Black student uses the word, it's anti-Black racism by an Asian.

I always find it strange to recall that the "N-word" has been banned for decades, to the point that "well-bred" Gen Alpha kids dont even know what "N-word" is, because no one iss allowed to say it even when talking about how it's banned, until they hear Black people saying it casually or in music or movies, but are supposed to understand that it is a terrible, terrible word that allegedly deeply hurts Black people.

Yeah the timing of it was impeccable. The only kids I know that are even aware of the impact of swastika would have are the kids who have been indoctrinated from birth to believe they are victims and the people are perpetually out to get them by smearing this all overt them. Nobody is. In my Middle Schooler’s friend group, the only kids he has ever heard use the N-word are the students of color themselves. And it’s widely known that they get a pass the same way that Asian kids use Asian specific slurs as a way of reclaiming power and the white kids joke about being white kids.


You sound like an anti-Semite among other things. My child was not indoctrinated from birth to believe he’s a victim. Swastikas are offensive. We live in a world of increasing anti-semitism. I really do hope you’re not a parent at Wooton and just a troll.


How can swastika by itself be offensive if your haven't been indoctrinated?

Swastikas are bad because Nazis wore them while Naziing. I'll take a million swastikas over one Nazi Naziing.


Omg I can not believe we are here

76 million Americans are fools they just let hitler take over musk not don the con he’s just the marketer

You utter fools when he comes for me he’s coming for you
Evangelicals better wake the hell up SCOTUS is not installing their religion theirs is a large denomination with way more money and it’s coming for all of us
Right now it’s a little over 20 percent of this country you fools just gave them the country
