Daughter got suspended for being racist

[PBUCKSHOT]

I say tear them a new one! This is bs and would be boiling if this happened to my daughter.

[Chew]

Was the opposing school predominantly black? If so, I can see the racist part.

This is the district where I live. Both schools have a pretty good mixture of all races. This is middle to upper middle class neighborhoods. Really nice schools.

What in the HELI has our public school system come too!!!! I can hardly believe what I am reading!!!How can educated people make these decisions???

Why do you always assume it's about black?
What if they were Hawaiians, offended by the pineapple?

Did you ever think about that, Leon? Huh, did you?

Time for an eye exam. Water melon is a fruit enjoyed by all races.

Looks like it is a predominantly black school (when compared to whites).


Hey Chew, what they used to tell us in the Marines:



Good initiative, bad judgment.

So I take it y'all won the game?

Ah yes, Humble ISD is flooded with Polynesians!

For the record, I'm not offended one bit. Like yall, I'm trying to make sense out of all this.

Time for a history lesson......Don't be silly bro, you know the stereotype.

My name is Madysen, I'm a student that goes to Summer Creek and one of the students that received the gifts while participating in the Good Sportmanship League on Friday night. Usually we begin by giving our names and shaking hands. However, in this case no names were given no hands were shook, the first thing Atascocita said when they walked up was, "We got y'all some watermelon." I'm also of black and white race. At first I did not take this offensively due to being confused to what was actually being said and taking place. It was until later that I understood what they may or may not have been trying to say. Summer Creek, a school of predominant African American race shouldn't take things like this lightly. We've been to rival volleyball games with Atascocita where they made, "Where's your daddy?", "Welfare.", and "Where's your real hair?" Into chants. This isn't the first offense of Atascocita High School has acted more or less offensively. I know many amazing people at Atascocita, and it is a great school. I just believe thinking twice wouldn't hurt about what you say or do that may offend so many people

Did you check the other school? I spent a lot of time at atascocita hs when I worked robbery. Arresting and interviewing black gang members. Don't hear much about summer creek.

38% isnt what I would call predominantly black. But ok.

[Stan R]

Are they taking the post down. I saw 2 and now see none.

I know very little about facebook

[Pedernal]

What is our society coming to?? WOW! Hope you get this cleared up for your dauther and the other students.

[SOLID EAGLE]

I'd be talking to an attorney this morning. No way I'm going to let some over educated idiots damage my daughters reputation for something so petty. These people will not respond to reasonable talk and logical thinking. The only thing that will get their attention is exposure by the media and loud angry parents. Time to get loud!!!

Always 3 sides to the story: his side, her side, and the truth.

38% black to 11% white, yeah, I would call that predominately black, when compare to the amount of white students. I realize there is 78 more Hispanic students than blacks, but it would be hard to tell what group(black or Hispanic) is larger when standing side by side.

whoooo boy. I'd be livid if I was you.
