[quote=Anonymous]This is a tough one because if you bring in anyone at the school it could be blown well out of proportion in a way that is not helpful to anyone. These sound like ignorant and hurtful statements that should absolutely be corrected but not worthy of the fullblown “hate bias incident” report that might result, complete with the actual police being called! I think you can do the following: - ask the school not to put the girls together - talk to the school social worker in general terms and ask for advice - request that the whole class be instructed on why this kind of statement is hurtful - consider (and here is where I am out of my depth) encouraging your daughter to stand up for herself and educate the other girl - possibly- only if you think they would be receptive- talk to the girl’s parents. I would definitely want to know if it was my kid, but I wouldn’t be very receptive if the message was “your kid is a horrible racist!”[/quote]
