This is so wrong and false. Teachers and administrators suffer from group mentality and bias just like everyone else. Sometimes kids get labeled mistakenly and everyone jumps on the bandwagon. Statistically, Black and Brown children are victims of bias in much greater numbers. Blamed for things they didn’t do and punished much more harshly than their white peers.


Nowadays the white Kidd get targeted too.


If you go to a school that does "restorative justice" I can assure you the "white kid" is not getting a free pass. Perhaps your kid is playing victim so that they don't get in trouble for the crap they are doing at school. Very rarely do kids get punished for a first offense, if anything bullying must get pretty bad to be addressed. Maybe OP instead of making this racial you should consider your precious snowflake may not be perfect and address it with them so they don't grow up to be an a-hole.

Many also worry that a non donor kid gets pushed under donor or trustee kids. It is a real thing.


All the information you need to know is in SCOTUS's decision, which you can find online. One of the accusations the student and parents made against the school was capricious grading. The fact that the teacher recalculated the grade and it went from an A- to an A suggests otherwise.

The Supreme Court rejected it. She applied to all Ivies, Johns Hopkins, Cal Tech and got rejected or deferred. Sidwell tried to get her into Spelman after the deadline but she pulled her application. She took a gap year and went to Penn. An example of a family refusing to listen to the CC and not applying to any safety schools. Felt entitled to a guaranteed spot at an Ivy. Ridiculous lawsuit. All of these schools want their students to get into the top colleges. It is good for their stats and pr. Absurd to accuse them of trying sabotage her chances.

It is so incredibly false. The rich white kids in private get away with anything. Look at the Landon SAT scandal. I personally know of a group of rich white girls who got caught drinking on campus and since several had parents on the board nothing happened. They are in HS so a suspension would have had to be reported to colleges. Meanwhile a non-white student at the same school was suspended for skipping one class. She was late and didn't sign in. She wasn't actually intentionally skipping and the whole thing was absurd.
Privates are terrible because there's no transparency and the admin can do whatever they want.


What is the Landon SAT scandal?


Someone digging up something from 25 years ago. Not a Landon fan but when you have to go back decades sigh

I think you are living in the 1950's. In the woke 2020's, it is reversed.

DP. I don’t know the details of OP’s situation, but if her kid got suspended this will go on their record and hurt college chances. So it could be a big deal.
