I am soooo glad that I read this thread. I was fearing that I was the only one that had these thoughts about this show. WHO did the casting? Did ANYONE think that it was maybe a bad idea to have a teenage son on the show that can not form a complete sentence? Why are his parents so concerned with him knowing that there is racism in the world? I think there are much more important things to teach him. Instead of parading around in a TV show, they should of been trying to find a school for him to attend.
And another thing... I don't buy that he got kicked out of school for bringing a knife ONE TIME. That doesn't make sense. I know different schools have different rules, but I know of people who brought GUNS to school and they graduated on time. No one will ever make me believe that they couldn't find an alternative school to send him if education is truly important to them.
This show makes me sick... but I can't stop watching it... I think I like to torture myself
