[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Preschool that we love and have sent 3 of our kids to told me today afterschool that my youngest, 4 yo son, told a black "floater staff" that "he doesn't like brown people other than John (his bestie)." I am utterly floored and responded thanking them for alerting us, telling them that it does not reflect our values at home and we are very shaken by it and that my son would be apologizing and writing a card to the staffer. Ugh. We had a serious heart felt discussion about how we it hurts feeling to say unkind things to them about their skin or bodies and that skin color is a very sensitive topic. He was very upset and I think realized it was a big deal, but I'm jsut so taken aback by the whole thing. We are a super progressive family with diverse friends (who we haven't seen much of thanks to the pandemic). I just am floored that my son would say this because we definitely have talked about race and have diverse books. (older kids so we talk about race in appropriate ways in the family.). I am also just mortified about what the staff must think of us. Any advice, commiseration? Ugh. just feeling awful.  [/quote]
