Dear Care and Feeding,
[snip]
My boys seem to like the center so far. The only hiccup has been “the brown guy” that is in their classroom (their words for him … I’ll call him “T”).
[snip]
Both of my sons have complained that T has hit them and generally makes a lot of noise in class. I mentioned this to an employee in their classroom (not the teacher herself, who was tied up at the moment), who told me that T has “boundary issues” and promised to make sure the teacher knows what has been going on.
Is there anything else I should be doing here? I don’t love the hitting part, and I would be just as upset if it were any other kid in the room doing it. However, I feel concerned that it’s T that my sons have zeroed in on because he is the only “brown guy” in the room. When they refer to him that way, I correct them with his name. I try not to dwell on differences, and I certainly don’t want to instill biases on them that they may not even have yet. I also don’t want to encourage them to be friends or interact with him if he really is just a jerk.
For now, I think it’s a case of them not liking the loud kid that occasionally may be in their personal space bubble, and they just aren’t sure how to advocate for themselves. Any thoughts or insights would be helpful.

Tell him his instincts are likely correct.
Children teaching their parent. Parent too immature to learn.
Inculcate white guilt.
Follow the kid home and see what’s behind the door. Therein may be the problem. I’d be checking out some other options for care.
Tell him that the little brown boy is mean. Tell him he has a lifetime to figure out what that means
Clearly, your sons need to check their privilege.
Childcare center employees are not allowed to tell a child “NO!” but only to find a way to “redirect” their “abundant energy.”
If/when the child is taught the simplicity of even the obediency you would teach a dog, the parent(s, if he/she has two) will take the thus “abused” child out of the paying client base and place it somewhere else that will not restrain it in any way.
The chief offense is usually biting, as it is the most painful to the victim, and leaves marks to assure that the victim learns the lesson of the dominance of the offender. The adult associate monster-minder is not allowed to return punitive measures.
Take your boys for some boxing lessons - then they can deal with the feral in a way he might understand.
Authors seems more concerned over the word “brown” than what the brown is doing.
Mom's going to have her little brain full for quite a while on this one.
But you know, one thing is missing from these stats about Black kids being suspended more... the racial make-up of the teachers. Are Black teachers and Latino teachers also having more trouble with Black and Latino kids than they are from White and Asian kids? If so...
There was a black kid in my youngest son’s elementary class who kept pushing him when he was standing in line. One day, son just reared back and cold-cocked the thug. That behavior stopped.
It’s a writer with SLATE with first name JAMILAH. That’s a big clue.
Tall guy
Little guy
Old guy
Rough guy
Fat guy
Pinky guy
White guy
Brown guy
It’s a frickin descriptor
Now Jamilah, collect your meager pay before SLATE has a problem making payroll and ...

It’s simple truly simple
My wife gave up her career as a PhD because the idea of putting our first child in daycare was too much to contemplate
So we cut our income in half and she stayed at home for our child’s sake
We have six kids and none have ever seen daycare nor will they- we also homeschool - savages are not allowed near them.
So ask yourself the question: what are my kids worth? You already know the answer but it’s hard for some to give up lifestyle for the betterment of their kids- they make up a hundred reasons why they can’t do this or that and in the end it’s best to admit that your kids are worth X - but aren’t really the treasure you claim they are- harsh? Or honest?
More people are pro lifestyle- not pro life
And kids are wanted but not sacrificed for-
White privilege means having to pay double for everything due to societal issues we have to continually run from.
Take your kids out of daycare- give them a chance to excel- educate them in the classics and you’ll find the sacrifices are worth it- I’m doing just that.
Did T do that too?
Tell the kids that the “brown boy” has an inferiority complex and that he is acting it out as he probably will for the rest of his life. Tell them that they must be aware of this and wary of it. Tell them that trillions of dollars have been spent already to try to help the brown boy with his inferiority complex but that it appears no amount of money can help him and that this is the white man’s curse for slavery or something like that. Tell them that his only way out of the vicious cycle he is in is for someone to set him down and not so gently explain to him that success in life is offered as an opportunity gained by hard work and the exploitation of whatever God given talents he has and not a right given. Tell them that he can be accepted and they should accept him if he behaves, assimilates, works hard and does not act like an entitled ass hole.
Have your kid learn karate or learn how to box. When this pain in the butt kid goes after your son again tell your son to hit him back and hit hard. When the school administration complains lay into them with ‘’Where were you and why weren’t you doing something about this kid’’? I was bought up differently in a different age. My father taught me and my four other brothers to protect ourselves and our two sisters and he told us if we were picked on to spare no manner of defense. I once threw a chair from a second floor stair well down on a bigger kid who had been picking on me. He needed seven stitches to close the wound.
When I was teaching in a black community years ago; the black teachers could speak to the black children in an authoritative manner that would often be rejected if the same came from a white teacher. My perception.
Best answer.
