[quote=Anonymous]DD is an minority honor student and a junior at a HoCo public school.
She's a sweet girl - a little on the shy side, and makes friends easily.

Today, when she entered her Spanish class, the teacher and the school's resource officer were standing in the doorway talking.
DD has seen the officer around school, but has never had any interactions with him.
DD walked around them and proceeded to her desk. Before she reached her desk, she heard the officer ask the teacher who DD was.  
The teacher told him her name and about a minute later, the officer addresses DD from across the room with, "Jessica, manos arriba!" (Spanish for "Hands up!").
DD smiled nervously - surprised that he called her name and also was not familiar with the term. Her and a classmate sitting next to her quickly figured it out and smiled it off.

DD shared this story with the family at the dinner table this evening and I am freakin livid. I told her I was going to talk with the administrators tomorrow, but she protested and said it was fine, just "weird".

Please advise on what steps, if any, I should take next. TIA.
