Boys Soccer Racism at MA High Schol

It is not child abuse because it is happening among peers. Peers need to sort out their social issues among themselves first. Bringing in parents, school officials, lawyers, etc. does nothing to address the underlying issue. Punishing the racist child is likely to create the loonies we are seeing lately.

You have got to be kidding. It is called educating an ignorant child not punishing. Rasicsm is born of fear and igorance.

***. You find out your kid referred to a black player as a monkey you take action and fast. Teach them what a bad racial slur that is and why and make it clear if they ever ever do that again that will be hell to pay. Period.

I am no liberal. Raise your kid to be an ignorant jackass if you think that will help them in life. But it won't.

Kids follow what you do, not what you say. If your kid did something like this, look at yourself first before kicking his #$$.

No doubt. You can bet where these kids learned those slurs.

An interesting backdrop to this is that Tantasqua is a much larger school than Quaboag (D1 vs D4) and happens to have a real good team (16-1). It would be ironic if they cancelled the rest of the season because these idiots couldn't keep their mouths shut in a 6-0 game.

There seems to be too much here for any significant portion of it to be made up.

A good checklist for families around here.

1) Do you have any black friends?
2) Do you have any black families in your neighborhood?
3) Have you invited 1 or 2 to your house?
4) Have you been involved in activities which include black folks?

Most answer no to all 4. How would you expect your kid to have a well developed view of this? Trump

Great questions and certainly a brief indication of a childs/family exposure to something other than their own. You don't need to be specific regarding white, black, asian Jew, Christian, Muslim. etc etc... However, these days the only group that anyone is concerned about is blacks. Not sure why you added 'Trump' at the end. I suppose we are going to talk about rhetoric now as well.

We are a yes to all four questions.......but.....

Without dismissing hate crimes against anyone, I am somewhat saddened about the agenda driven directions that tends to ignore full reality. Sure, hate crimes against blacks are present, and I absolutely agree with all prior posters who say that the parents are responsible for the upbringing of their kids. Up until a certain age, they are sponges and hear and remember what we say.

Statistically, blacks are still the largest target of hate crimes encompassing about 25% of those reported. However, that number has held steady or declined depending on what data you read. Anti-muslim sentiment peaked around 2001 but has stayed steady or declined and rests around 10%. Anti-hispanic reports have been steadily rising since 2010 and is about 20%. Over the last 10 years there has also been a steady increase in anti-semitism. We have witnessed this from coaches and from players. Sadly, anti-semitic crimes are perpetrated by groups representing both Democrat and Republican.......the media doesn't report too much of it since it is not part of their agenda....until, of course a horrific event occurs.

Crimes against blacks seem to be what the Democrat media wants to report, and that all whites should feel guilty about it.....even if they had nothing to do with it.

As has been said, parents, teachers, peers are influential. However, parents have the greatest opportunity to steer their kids in one direction or the other.

Good reply. The Trump at the end is a mistake. The random question uses his name sometimes and then it pops in my posts. Sorry. Using Black is in concert with this particular thread. It applies to all types of folks.

Please provide proof anti semetic crimes come from "both sides." I'm not saying there isn't some racial or religious hatred on the left - there is some - but the vast majority of it is on the right. That has been consolidated under Trump. I also know not all on the right are haters. But, they're willing to overlook hate coming from Trump and the supporters standing next to them in the crowds.

Simpletons.
Humans instinctively build hierarchies, and teenagers are especially crude, and often cruel in their methods. We can ban certain words or methods of teasing to make adults feel better, but it will still occur. Teach your kid resilience, and maybe they wont cut themselves, and please stop blaming Trump. He is a symptom not a cause.
