[quote=Anonymous]I haven't had to talk to DS about not being racist because like others have mentioned, this is a conversation we've had out in the open for a long time about respect, double meanings of words that seem innocuous but can be offensive, about overt racism and micro aggressions regarding race and gender.

Unfortunately, things have come up every now and again at school (with other kids) where they have been additional teachable moments for DS.

I will say that middle school kids are racist for shock value, even non white kids. The stuff I hear about after the fact (and just yesterday in fact after I picked up DS from a lesson) its crazy to me that kids talk and behave and think this way. Even your kid. Yes you reading this. The kids yesterday, their moms would be MORTIFIED and are clueless to this behavior. Class VPs at school who think their kids walk on water moms. Its stupid how much parents don't know about their kids or what they do or say or how they think. [/quote]
