[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless there’s something specific that’s happened to your daughter by this kid you should just invite her. [/quote]

Op here. She didn’t do anything specific to my child. But last summer there was a birthday party for another kid, at which a little boy of Latin American descent was a guest. The girl in question told him that he needed to prove to everyone he’s American otherwise he didn’t belong at the party. They were all seven years old at the time. Seven. My daughter wasn’t at that party but apparently the little boy went home in tears and all the other parents were outraged.

I want my home to be a safe place for all kids. I don’t want any child to experience this kind of hatred and to invite her would feel like I’m just turning a blind eye to it. [/quote]

I’d probably talk to the parents directly and let them know we’d like to invite their daughter, but if anything like the above is said, they will be asked to leave. Then leave it up to them if they want to come or not.

I feel so bad for that poor girl. She’s just parroting what her parents say and doesn’t realize the impact it will have on her life. [/quote]

Omg this is so true. Our preschool had to have a parent meeting because two white kids were refusing to touch or play with the brown kids, and all the parents could talk about was how these kids were too young to be “actually “ racist, and that the didn’t want to “label “ the girls, and no one seemed concerned at all about the kids who were told their hands were “dirty.”   I really started to hate some parents that day.

I feel worse for the little boy who had to put up with her racist bullying.[/quote][/quote]

^ Got somehow messed up. I was responding to the last comment. [/quote]
