[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To anyone reading this, please don’t assume it is not your child.  Look at their phones.

I am amazed the number of kids saying this kind of stuff  and then further putting it in writing and the parents are clueless.[/quote]

Of course it's not a good look to be saying or writing anti-Semitic or racist things. But let's not go all woke and canceling kids just trying out forms of humor. Let's also not forget that certain sterotypes or slurs have nuggets of truth to them. Kids recognize those nuggets when grownups outwoking themselves dont'  wnat to.

My kid's best friend on his travel team wsa getting hassled because he made some anti-gay jokes making fun of a gay kid in his class. A couple were hilarious and just locker room humor but in this day and age he shouldn't have siad those things, should have let them go. But I've seen this kid when I've chaperoned field trips, and he is a little b**** and deserves to get knocked down a couple of pegs.

I was so proud of my boy who went and showed screenshot PROOF to the school that the kid getting "slurs" called on him was in fact was harassing people online about the clothes they wear and how they don't match girl. Instead of he said whoever said, my boy showed the only documented evidence which was the stuff the gay kid wrote. Without my son his buddy gets canceled. Instead everyone gets let off with a warning, and life goes on.[/quote]

Did it occur to you PP that the reason the gay boy is "a little b****" (side note:  this is a homophobic slur and you are very clearly homophobic) is as a proactive defense mechanism because the kid has been bullied for being gay by jerks like your son's "buddy"?

Not saying the gay kid is in the right or shouldn't be held accountable.  He should.  Just want to maybe get your tiny little brain turning to contemplate things.[/quote]
