[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your kid told a racist joke to impress older kids. Let's not forget that. Frankly, he should probably be suspended. Were demerits or whatever got the other kid suspended issued to your son as well?

Let go of stuff like "he told someone he thought was a friend." If someone I thought was a friend told a racist joke, I would absolutely tell other people that that happened so they'd know that person's views.[/quote]

OP - no demerits for my son, he hasn’t had any issues ever in school or camp where as the other kid was on his last chance. But I do think DS is paying for this in other ways. We picked up The Diary of Anne Frank which he’s going to read and then summarize for me. [/quote]

You are way too focused on the other kid. You bring him up in almost every post. There may well have been other kids upset and offended by what your son said who froze and didn’t react.

Like others, I find it hard to believe your kid didn’t understand what he was saying. Go to the Holocaust Museum and talk about anti-semitism together, but most of all stop making excuses for him. I don’t think forcing a book review of Anne Frank will be very effective. [/quote]
