8 year old girl of color gets a humiliating award from her teacher.
This is how children of color are treated in schools, people, especially brown children. How will this child trust teachers actually care about her again? Huh? Tell me that.
The teacher tried to brush this shit off and say it was “just a joke.” Yeah… because humiliating a child in a classroom full of her peers is just fucking hilarious. I’m willing to put money on the fact that she’d never do this shit to a nice little white child.
EVERY SINGLE COMMENT is blaming & bashing the mother, talking about how in the 60’s they got what they got and the mother needs to stop crying and step up and check her daugher’s work. commenters also suggest the mother get an ignorance award. also, a commenter said “She needs to stop partying, or whatever she’s doing and start paying attention to her child. Instead, she makes a national media incident out of it”
….um.
i got a similar “award” in 6th grade… guys. i’m white. why is this tagged “whiteness”..? this case is about an individual POC, but it is not an issue only seen happening to POC.
