[quote=Anonymous]My child is biracial and attends Thoreau. They haven’t experienced any sort of racial harassment or bullying, though I understand that can vary based on what group of kids they hang out with. However, when we had an issue where we felt the administration made a misstep that was culturally insensitive, and we contacted them about it, they handled it swiftly and competently, and made it clear they were really listening to us. So, I think this incident, while upsetting, doesn’t tell the entire story of POC’s experiences at Thoreau. It’s a great school that is dealing with a very small group of problematic kids, who learned bad behavior at home, and I’m not sure what the the solution is, but painting the entire school as racist isn’t actually helpful.[/quote]
