One of my gal’s friends(Chinese American) has twins in the 3rd grade. Both straight A, hard-working students. Teacher loves the little girl, and hates the little boy. He’s very out-spoken! They were given a homework project to make a little book about something they liked. The boy rushed home and immediately started drawing about Japanese Anime’ stuff. He drew some of the bizarre, futuristic weapons used by some of the cartoon characters. Teacher sent him home, called the parents and bitc-ed at them for an hour about “no tolerance.”
I told my girl that I would have shown “no tolerance” for the teacher or the school, and would have yelled at them for at least an hour!
Noose: The knot which must not be named.
They should call a lawyer, threaten a big bucks lawsuit and then settle for an public apology and an “unsuspension.”
Then run for the school board.
Just before Thanksgiving break my son (10) had “Cowboy Day”. He dressed up and off he went. Later I asked him about it, he said they talked about the west and then they watched “The Rifleman”. He was excited because he and my husband actually watch it every night and he knew all the characters. I asked him, “Did Lucas whip out his gun?” “Yes”. “Did Lucas kill the bad guy?” “Yes”. “Did therapists come to the classroom to offer counseling for the kids that were traumatized by seeing a gun?”
In the 12 years I’ve been dealing with my kids schools I have never had a problem with left wing nonsense. But I think our school reflects our community.
Parents should never let the school bully them. If the community stands up to them they back down. When they get away with crap like your friends friend went through, it just emboldens them. She should call that teacher and tell her how the cow eats the cabbage.
