Fors the past several years, I have heard black people say blacks don’t commit suicide and don’t hang themselves.

I don’t know much about this specific incident. But I taught in urban public schools for decades. Bullying was rampant there (same as it always was). The target kids suffered every day. Teachers were infuriated. It was heartbreaking. And the district did nothing. And that’s because any admission that bullying occurred is bad publicity. Can’t have that.

Some folks say the target kids should just fight back. Punch that big bully in the nose! Well, that kind of thinking is 30 years out of date. Any bullied kid who fought back would (not might, but would) be jumped in a stairwell or on the way home.

Some of those bullied kids would ask me for advice. My response was always the same. Its best to get out of here. Go to a charter school.

What a conundrum; to believe claims of a black family or trust in the “investigation” conducted by public school district. Think I’ll go with the family on this one. Public school districts seem to enjoy the credibility of Congress or the MSM these days.

“...Izzy was bullied on the basis of race and/or disability,”


Having had some experience as a teacher and dealing with someone who had autism, I can see how she might well have been the victim teasing and bullying. Not because she was black, but because she was odd. Kids usually don’t deal well with odd children. It really depends on the kids I suppose.

I subbed several years with a class that had an autistic boy. He looked and acted like a frightened little bird. But he was lucky; there were three girls of good character that more or less protected him over the years. They influenced their classmates. He graduated from 8th grade last year. Hope his high school classmates are as good to him.

I didn’t want to comment on the KSL boards, I’m already on their watch list. So here goes:
The mother was the one proclaiming racism, not the little girl.
I don’t know any 10 year olds for reference, so does a 10 year old know what suicide is? Do they know how to kill themselves? She was a somewhat mentally disabled girl, if I recall.
So the mother said “suicide” but to my knowledge no autopsy was performed.
What’s more common - a 10 year old killing themselves or a enraged parent harming or killing their child?
Maybe time to investigate the mother.
