[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a truly hilarious and deeply worrying microcosm of gender dynamics in the U.S.

Oh yes we all agree the boys behavior was unacceptable but if the girl keeps telling the truth about his behavior it might ruin his (kindergarten) career![/quote]

This has nothing to do with gender, it could have been two girls. The 3rd grader on a personal vendetta to expose a racist kindergartner is ridiculous.

Gender has a lot to do with this, if you're being honest.  [/quote]

Yes, we are teaching girls that their own stories don’t belong them so little boys don’t have to be upset.

I’m unsure why so many haven’t talked to their kids about racial slurs and not using words they don’t know the meaning of.  If this kid was older he would be getting his butt  kicked.[/quote]

Oh c’mon, most parents are not giving their kids a run down of every racial slur or stereotype that exists.

I’ve talked with my K kid about not commenting on people’s appearances, not bullying someone because of skin color, etc. But there is zero chance I’m telling a little boy learning impulse control who loves to say poopy/potty words some more words that are off limits.

And the fact you mentioned if he was older he would get his butt kicked *is the point*. He isn’t older. He’s 5.

If the girl need to process her subjective feelings that is fine, but it doesn’t give her a pass to try to [b]turn a small child into a social pariah so she can feel better. [/b][/quote]

And yet the OP says this is not what she’s doing. So hang in there with your victimized white boy fanfiction.[/quote]
