[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OPs original post.

The bolded part shows she clearly said her daughter is being bullied about her race.  OP did not me tion the races involved.

Several posters jumped in that she shoukd get the DOJ involved because the bully is mentioning OPs daughter's race.

I am the poster who asked what if she is white and the bully is another race.  It is a valid question to ask.  If a child is being bullied for her race, it should not matter what color the bully or the victim are, and who is a protected class.

[quote=Anonymous]My dd is in 8th grade and another girl (very very popular) has sent her some really mean and nasty messages.
I am shocked as to how low some girls can go in order to hurt other girls,[b] comments on race, [/b]looks and worse.

I have advised my dd to block her so she does not send her any such messages in the future, but such behavior is scary. I have also advised my DD to complain to the school counselor, but she does not wanna do it..

Please advise me DCUM! its really heartbreaking to see 14 year old girls do such things[/quote][/quote]

PP, get over yourself.

No one said that a white child deserves less protection than a child of color.  However, historically, white children have not needed specific, race-based protection bcause their white parents had a hell of a lot more political and institutional power.

OP never said the race of her child, [b]but it's less likely that it's a child of color making fun of a white girl.[/b]

This is an untrue statement.

To say that you are working from the assumption that the popular girls in school must be white.  That is not the case at my kid's high school. [/quote]
