My godson has blond hair and blue eyes, as does his brother & sister. They all live in CA. The school that they go to is heavily black and/or Latino - so much so, that they are literally the only kids with blond hair and blue eyes.

Unfortunately, instead of this being the wonderful learning experience that it should have been, the boys were coming home every day with black eyes & other bruises, while the girl was emotionally withdrawn. The school district suggested that they change schools, and refused to call the parents of the main instigators in for a conference!

I feel very badly about this. These three kids were supposed to be immersed in tolerance, but the school made it a bad experience. They're being homeschooled now, and are going to a racially diverse church. Their mother is so afraid of them not being tolerant (their father is terminally ill).

And I don't know why I felt the need to share this, other than the article just reminded me of their situation...
