[quote=Anonymous]We were not at NCS/STA but at a school very close by.  I was appalled at the racism.  No one ever called him a racial slur or did anything else that was too obvious.  However, there were birthday parties where the entire class was invited except for the black and Hispanic kids.  There were teachers who thought my ds was fine if he wasn't treated the same.   A was a class pizza party where every kid got a slice of pizza except for mine.  It was an accident no one did it on purpose, but the attitude was "It's just pizza.  What's the big deal that he had to sit and watch everyone eat?"  Instead of berating him for being a child and feeling left out, why not be solution oriented and cut one slice in half??

My child's, who has never been a behavior problem before or since, name was CONSTANTLY called by the teacher.  Ds complained daily.  "He is always calling on me saying I did something whether I did it or not!"  I didn't believe ds until I saw it happen.  The entire class was talking and the teacher yelled, "John!  Stop talking!"  Then tried to back track when he saw me come in to help set up for the class event.  I asked him.  Why are you calling my child when every kid in the room is talking?  "Oh, I was going to call their names too."

Racism is everywhere.  But at private schools they don't get checked on it.  The school is about being selective and leaving certain groups out.  It is a breeding ground for the racist.

So, yes, the racism is deep and worse they are so liberal, so "anti-racist", so welcoming and tolerant that they won't ever see it.[/quote]
