By The Numbers
self-criticism class will begin in ten minutes
[a 9 year old boy] was suspended for three days this month for allegedly committing a “hate crime” by using the expression “brown people.”
But wait . . .
the tape recording indicates this only came out after another parent was allowed to question the boy and elicited from him the statement that he “doesn’t cooperate with brown people."
But wait . . .
That parent happens to be the mother of the student with whom he is having a conflict—and she happens to work for Abraham Lincoln as a detention-room officer.
But wait . . .
After that was reported to the boy’s teacher, he was made to stand in front of his class and publicly confess what he’d said
But wait . . .
When [the boy’s mother] objected to the suspension during the conference, [the principal] told her that she didn’t have any rights; that parents give up their rights to discipline when they send a child to school, the tape shows.
