This is a very touchy subject, but its something that needs to be addressed. Yesterday I received a phone call from the principal at my son’s high school. Another student is accussing not only my son but 2 other students of using the “N” word. That word has never been used in my house nor will it ever be. That is a word I do not like and my children have been brought up not to say the word because it is an ugly word.
So let me start from the beginning, my nephew was and still is being bullied by this kid and it started about a month ago. This kid sold or traded dogtags with my nephew and said he wanted $20. My sister would not allow my nephew to pay that much for them because you can buy them anywhere cheaper so she said he could give this boy $10. Well in between this transaction my nephew recieved a new football for his birthday. He had taken it to school and this kid took the football and said my nephew wasn’t getting it back until he paid him $20 for the dogtags.
On another occassion this kid (the bully) told my nephew to go in the lunch line and get him food, when my nephew came back and had eaten 2 of the corn dogs the bully punched him in the stomach and said thats for eating my corn dogs and not bringing the rest of my money. Since then everyday this kid has told my nephew that he will beat him up untill he pays him the $20. Enough is Enough I asked my oldest son to go to this bully and tell him to leave his cousin alone. So he did, and now a month later were all getting calls that every one of our children have called this boy the “N” word.
First it was said that our children had said this on the school bus, none of our children ride the same bus as this kid, and when that was said of course the mother wanted to know what would be done about it, so the principle set up a meeting for all involved.
Today we had the meeting so we could try to resolve this problem. From the time we walked in the room this woman was rude and wouldn’t let any of the other parents get a word in. She didn’t want to talk about how her son was bullying my nephew she only wanted to know what was going to be done to punish these boys and when we tryed to talk about the situation she just blew up and stormed out of the room saying she was contacting NAACP and the local law enforcement. She never even asked the boys “did you call my son this word” she just repeatedly accused them of saying it.
Personally I believe she’s playing the race card. If she really wanted to resolve this problem she would have let the other parents and children speak and not just talk about how she was gonna contact the NAACP. She also made a point of saying that her son was not a “N” word he was a half breed ( now what kind of person calls their child that, to me that is as bad as the “N” word.) She also referred to us as “Rednecks” and “Honkys” We are living in a small community and we have many races in our community, race has nothing to do with the issue that has been happening. Nor has it ever been a problem in our school system. Race is a serious issue these days and to falsely accuse these boys is outrageous.
