Sorry I am out of the loop, what is going on where consequences and discipline are being shot down as racist? Where has that happened? At my kid's school they are really cracking down on discipline (to a ridiculous degree IMO).

Yes, who said it was “racist”? A parent? A teacher?

Our school started off a bit lax in the fall - I think because they knew the kids were still adjusting from the pandemic - but they really locked down after winter break. Even my rule-following kid got in trouble for something minor. [/quote]

Perhaps you think it's minor, but if 1,100 other kids were also doing it, it would be a problem for the school staff.

NP. Maybe that’s true but it’s a huge difference. A friend of mine got a phone call because her son was “involved in a bullying incident.” Later she learned from a parent that his role in the bullying incident (three kids calling another kid stupid, I think) was making the comment that started the whole thing. The comment was something like “only one person on the slide at a time.” The teacher thought it was ridiculous that the parents said he was “involved in a bullying incident.” My friend, by the way, is not white.

And we got an email from the school that they would be taking far more serious disciplinary measures.

So yeah I dunno. [/quote]
