[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone apparently forwarded the messages to the non-white players' parents because the family messaged us and a few other families letting us know they were pulling their player off the team and due to racial harassment. ?[/quote]

There is a player having problems.  Let's call him "Unhappy Player."  The only people claiming racial harassment are Unhappy Player's parents.  Maybe it's racially based, or maybe the other players are annoyed for non-racist reasons.  We don't know.  In my private school world, folks love to scream "racism!" at every opportunity, and the stories don't often add up.  For instance, nooses are hoaxes far more often than not.

So assuming OP is telling the truth, and I doubt it due to the lack of specifics, OP is ripping OP's child away from a team based off an allegation alone.  In my experience, especially on these teams, and especially in the DC area, very few kids are racist.  The lack of racism causes some folks, usually women, to look for racism in every nook and cranny.

You have to ask what's more likely: Players suddenly became racist are an suburban mom saw the racism boogeyman?  [/quote]
