thread 1/3
Today, some kid at my kid's school was a complete asshole to my kid's Jewish friend. Accusing her of being wrong for not reading the (Christian) Bible, saying she didn't care about her religion. My kid quoted her crying friend, "They told me something like this might happen, would probably happen."

"But I didn't think it would happen at my school." I bet she didn't. It's supposed to be a safe space. I'm pissed cause Jewish parents are having their own talk with their kids, just like I'm having talks with my Black kids, with renewed urgency in these days.

Gonna reach out to the friend's mom and express support. I think me and other moms should organize a field trip for our kids to the Jewish museum downtown without waiting on the school to do it. This kind of ignorance can't stand.

Please pass along my added support to the mother & her daughter's friend. They are learning difficult lessons that small-minded folks still continue & reinforce prejudice & hate through their children. Societal progress is slow, but we're not about to give up the dream of peaceful coexistence.

Proactively planning something and maybe even saying something to the school about what happened is a good idea as it means her friend’s mom doesn’t have to take on that fight herself. She’ll know she has allies to take it on.

Just in time for Passover, too. It is, in the truest sense, appalling.

I will express my support for you. May you and all the moms be protected as you protect your kids.

As it was told to me, the Jewish kid discussing how nice Passover is was the precipitating event that brought out the ugliness in that bully.
