11/28/2007: "9-year-old suspended for saying "brown people""

The boy was suspended for three days this month for allegedly committing a “hate crime” by using the expression “brown people.”

A Glendale elementary school principal has admitted to telling a 9-year old boy that it is OK to have racist feelings as long as you keep them to yourself.

But 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.”

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.

The boy maintains that he never said it; that the words were put in his mouth by the parent who questioned him. 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.

[ They are people. And they are brown. We are projecting adult neurosis onto innocent children who should have the right to believe whatever they want without conditioning, anyway. ]
