Discrimination in 3rd Grade? (teenager, parents, son, hubby)

[Angieio]

I'm curious about your thoughts here.

Just the facts: Yesterday, a third-grade classmate told my son that he didn't like my son because of his race. We live in the Ozarks.

Explain to your son that its good that he knows who his enemys are and that he is not to take any ***** from this kid.

All that kid is doing is repeating the crap he has heard at home.

What the hell, do we even have a moderator?

Agreed! I have heard some of the worst talk from a teenager about his minority classmates in front of his parents...AT the dinner table and all was acceptable ! I had to leave and rarely speak to these people anymore (friends of my hubby, he doesn't agree with their view but anyway)

I wasn't looking for advice, or I would have put it there. I was interested in first impressions of the story. Let's not be grumpy.

Are you asking us to guess the specifics of your situation?

Life is like that, why should you expect more from third graders than from adults?

You don't have a debate.

Tell you child to get over it. Most people don't like other people for many reasons and race is only one of the. It is a good life lesson. Children tend to be honest about their feelings. Adults lie!
