[quote=Anonymous]I have a few questions;

1. Are all of your DD's friends in this particular class of one race and the other girl of another race?

2. Why a slut? Is the term slut disproportionately used against minorities in the school?

3. Is the girl particularly well endowed or otherwise physically constituted so as to be proverbially "asking for it"?

4. Do other people call this girl a slut? Do your daughter's friends? If so, why?

Basically calling someone a slut because they wouldn't leave a seat makes no sense. There is probably a lot going on that your daughter is not telling you. Maybe this is part of ongoing low level sexual harassment against this so called 'slut'. Maybe she has a curvy (perceived to be ethnic?) body so your daughter somehow thinks she is an easy target. Maybe this girl is liked by a guy your dd likes. If she didn't know to move from your DD's chair, then maybe she is slow at picking up social cues? ESOL?

I do know for certain that your daughter is not telling you the whole truth though so I wouldn't get comfy on that high horse just yet.

I'd also worry about what kind of messages you are teaching your dd that her first recourse is to call someone a slut![/quote]
