[quote=Anonymous][quote]- [b]The OP minimizes her daughter's behavior[/b], focusing on the word slut instead of the fact that her daughter walked over to another girl and ordered her out of her seat and then insulted her. This is bullying behavior. Bullies tell people where they can and cannot go and what they can and cannot do. This is not normal "girl behavior". It's a bitch move. 
- The OP wants the school to apologize to her DD for punishing her 
- The OP is angry at the OG's parents for doing their job (protecting their daughter) and instead of calling them to apologize or even straighten it out, she is defiant. 
- The OP is telling her daughter to "play by the rules" instead of telling her what she did is wrong. 
- The OP is convinced that this is the fault of affirmative action. [/quote]
I agree with this.  OP's account makes it seem like her daughter was the reasonable party right up until she used the word slut.  She remonstrated with the OG, asking her why she sat there, being perfectly polite, while the OG escalated, and was rude and confrontational.  And OP got her wish - other PPs have posted, "the OG was trying to provoke."  I simply don't believe it.  Either OP presented us with a sanitized version, or her daughter did and she bought it hook, line and sinker (the more likely scenario).  And that's a large part of the problem here - OP, it's your responsibility to be a little sceptical af the accounts that minimize your daughter's wrongdoing.  And the nonsense about you can't call to apologize, because they're so angry?  Just letting your daughter off the hook again.  [/quote]
