[quote=Anonymous]I understand you being bothered, of course. But her views aren't just "her own," like you guys just ran into each other in the mall. Her views affect children. If children are treated like they are "just bad" when they are little, how will that affect their learning? Her race is a red herring in this conversation -- black people can't get away with saying other black people are "just bad." It's still racist.

If she were a male substitute saying "You know, some of these kids are so sexy!" I don't think there where would be much of a question about what you should do. I think that you should report it to your superior so that she can possibly be removed from the substitute rolls. I don't think you should make it a crusade, but just think about how you would feel if you one of these children she's calling "just bad" were your own.

And, as hard as it may be, in the future you might have to call people on this. Practice saying "that's inappropriate and I disagree." This is difficult! It's hard for me, too. But the only way to address these issues is if all of us do it.[/quote]
