[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp that shared the story about my son and the school election (and the all female staff wearing Girlz Rul shirts)

I’m not trying to equate these micro aggressions with institutional racism. But when you’re an eight year old or nine-year-old or 10-year-old boy it does mean everything to him.

And while I have never had to explain to him that there are People That don’t like him simply based on the color of his skin, I did have to explain to him that they was somebody important in his life, his teacher, that didn’t want to see him succeed simply based off his gender. And to be frank that was a very difficult conversation. I’m not suggesting it as difficult conversations that people of color have to have. But it involved a lot of tears and to be honest I don’t think he understood why his teacher didn’t want to see him win simply because he was a boy. It was a hard lesson.

This isn’t a zero sum game. There can be institutional sexism in the schools and institutional racism in society

And yes, this was raised to the principal. The teacher never mentioned it or apologized.

Np. The teacher was wrong and should have remained neutral.  [/quote]
