[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am very disturbed about something my daughter came home and told me this week. In class there is a boy who is a Donald Trump supporter.  My daughter and another girl that sit near this boy do not like Donald Trump, and the topic has been coming up recently.   The other girl was telling this boy that if Donald Trump is elected, she will be kicked out of the country because she is a Muslim.  The boy said 'You are a Muslim?  Bye." and dismissed her.  My daughter tried to tell him it was wrong and racist and he just said, you don't know the definition of racism.

I am heartbroken over this exchange. I told my daughter to make sure she supports her friend, and that targeting someone because of their religion is bullying and unacceptable, and if it happens again she should tell the teacher.

I know this boy and up until this fall and when he started with the Donald Trump stuff, I thought he was a nice kid.  I don't want to get overly involved in this but I have been torn about whether there is something I should do, as I feel terrible for the little girl.  Would love any input. Thanks.[/quote]

Actually it was not racist bc Muslim is not a race.[/quote]
