Parents are well educated. (Um, I know about that...)
AA child attends 99.9% non-AA school (private). The child does not regularly ask questions, answer questions, etc in class. Did I mention he was 6? Okay. The school refers the child for PSYCHIATRIC services. The parents agree and his is on ZOLOFT. Has been for 6 months.
Last school year (at a different school), the child asks his mom, "when will there be other black kids in my class?" Okay. He was 5 y/o at the time. 2D thinks...GET YOUR CHILD OUT OF THAT SCHOOL! Then, he gets in an altercation where this NON AA student bites him. The school labels this child (non-biter) as AGGRESSIVE. One school calls him AGGRESSIVE and the other school says he has SOC. ANX. Disorder. 
When I learned of this, I was like ZOLOFT? Um, don't you mean ZOLOFT, JR?
Are there any PHARMACY majors out there? What are the effects on this medicine for a 6 years old CHILD?
I say the child needs a school with a great MIX of students, but that's just me.

It sounds like the parents have some confusion as to who they are and they are exacting that on that child. I bet if he were to visit Nana, he'd be just fine, playing outside with other children in the street.
And as someone said long time ago, what ever happen to whoopins? Are the parents afraid to set this child skrait?
Oh, I forgot, this boy's parents are trying to rear this child outside in their "corporate" environment. This child KNOWS that something is awkward, but does not have the vocabulary to understand why it is that way and explain it to his parents. So, the parents are allowing the "professionals" to "label" their child to route him into a course of the "self-fulfilling prophecy"...
Well,
GOLD STAR for institutionalized racism!!!
