The incident has prompted tense conversations about discipline and race at a Northwest D.C. school.
By Perry Stein Perry Stein Reporter covering D.C. education Email Bio Follow March 12 at 7:16 PM A racist slur hurled at three black children on a D.C. schoolyard has forced a public elementary school with a mostly white and affluent student body to address its discipline policies and examine whether the school is inclusive to families from all backgrounds.
“It is very hard, it is very draining, but it’s ultimately for the best. It’s bringing issues to the surface,” said Heather Schwager, who is a white parent of two children at the school. “Many white parents didn’t even realize how few black teachers are in the school because they didn’t see the world through that lens. It’s been a lesson in white privilege for all of us.”
The parents of the children involved in the episode declined to comment or could not be directly reached. The school has experienced increasing enrollment in recent years, with 428 students this academic year. “We need to know if it’s happening, and a lack of transparency denied us the right to talk to our son and see if maybe it happened to him and he never told us,” Glenn Spitzer said.
