[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Applying to HTS next year along with St Agnes. What kind of racism is going on? Is it the kids? Parents? Teachers? Does this happen to other nearby parochial schools? [/quote]

Kids using the N-word and some parents not happy with a perceived inadequate response from the principal.[/quote]

Those kids should be suspended/expelled. Sets a no tolerance policy and at least for the next 10 years those words and behaviors will not come up again due to the precedent 
A message to the principals reading this Strong leadership. There needs to be boundaries “firm but kind” [/quote]

We are not an HTS family and know nothing about the school of these specific situations, but I disagree that the use of any word should result in an automatic expulsion. What if it’s a child of color who uses it? What if it’s a young child who repeats it without directing it at anyone, but simply because they heard someone else saying it or heard it in music? What if a child has been accused of using it by another child but no adult actually heard it?

Point being that there is always nuance, and a truly good school will work with students and families that show desire and commitment to upholding the values of the school.[/quote]

Exactly.  If a Black student uses the N-word should they be expelled?[/quote]

Maybe. A black student should prob be expelled if they call a white classmate a cracker. [/quote]
