I am beyond livid! Mis B came home from school today and immediately came to talk to me. Highly unusual! It seems her old nemesis is back in her school.
Two years ago, we took her out of school because she was getting her life threatened by a class mate, because she was 'mixed'. He told her she didn't deserve to live and he and his 'crew' were going to 'take her out'. She was so upset, she didn't want to go to school. This is a girl that begged to go to school even when she was sick!
The school did not take it seriously, because the little boy in question was black (so, according to Walton County Schools, you can only be accused of racial harassment if you are white), and after all, they are only in the second grade! How serious could his threats be? It took repeated complaints, meetings and finally threatened legal action for the school to act. Their solution? They moved Miss B to another class (clearly a case of punishing the harassed and not the harasser) This actually served to make the Bully's case! Mess with me and you get moved to another class!
It bothered her so bad, we actually took her out of public school and started home schooling her.
Now, two years later, we put her back in public school so I could concentrate on her brother and his special needs education. She came home today and told me they have a new student...it is the same boy from 2 years ago. Evidently he moved out of the school district and has now come back.
Again, he is making threats. Very specific threats. Not only to her, but to a couple of other students as well.
This type of behavior is learned. Children are not born with a hatred of people based on the color of their skin. Where is this type of behavior learned? Usually at home.
I have sent a strongly worded email to the teacher, principal, school superintendent, my school board representative, and our attorney. Hopefully, we will see some action on this tomorrow.
