[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. To clarify

The subject line of the email was"Community Message Hate Bias Event." I am not making that up. Their words not mine. It seems central office thought it was fairly serious as of their reporting this to parents.

The principal said in the email, "Students reported to school administration that a teacher said to several African American students that he was 'unable to distinguish them from other African American students' in the classroom."

Repeating, Teacher said this to SEVERAL black kids, not just two, so please don't think or make it sound like he simply confused two kids with each other.

To BCC alum PP, really very sad that this is a pattern at the school.

Agree that the radio silence from PTSA is odd.

Waiting for more official news. Have other BCC parents heard more from their DCs? Where is The Tattler on this?[/quote]

DP. BCC Alum and parent. I want to affirm the other BCC alum who said there have been reported incidents of racism unaddressed at BCC.

Same teacher also used the N-word in class. There was videotape circulating widely. She was never fired or reprimanded publicly in any way. She continued to teach all year and then retired.

And, one of my kids has long noted that students of color are treated worse when subject to potential discipline - white kid late to class can come in immediately without note. Black kid late to class needs to go to main office for note and misses a lot of class.

I have heard about these differentials as early as 1st grade. It is a systemic issue.

Students (of all colors) are offended that they have to go to school in an atmosphere of racism and intolerance.  This undermines respect for authority at school, is alienating, demotivating and negatively affects student mental health. [/quote]

And yet you are both a BCC alum and a BCC parent?  Seems you would have sought out something different for your kids if it was so terrible. [/quote]
