I hate Illinois Nazis.
Sounds like the kid could use a trip to the Holocaust museum in Washington D.C. Though I don’t know if that would help.
Saplings become big trees...and bigger NAZIs. The peer pressure might straighten fat troll out for now.
Is the dad a boss of yours.? Or how many much money will you loose if the dad chooses to freeze you out?
I’d let it go because the kid pry has a crush on your daughter and is just being stupid. But I’d tell your daughter to steer clear of the kid as much as possible. I’m glad her classmates took care of the situation in the limo. It’s good to know she has support there.
Speak to the boy’s father in private, man to man and lay it out, point by point. He may be totally unaware of the situation...........
I hate Illinois Nazis.
Speak to the father - again. Keep a log of when, where these incidents occur.
Unacceptable. Yes, I would speak to someone
I am of Jewish background myself, and _we_ have a problem with the left-wing Jews who are _very_ obnoxious, _very_ condescending, and _very_ much in the public eye.
It is easy to understand why a young person could over-generalize and assume _all_ Jews are like that.
The anti-dote has to be one-on-one.
You and your daughter need to lead by example (_no_ lecturing) in all that you do every day.
That means treating everyone with respect, listening to everyone, talking down to no-one.
That is far more important than scoring any debating points imho.
If he is a good father, you can let him know that his son is playing with fire that eventually could get him kicked out of school. He would be grateful, and he would make sure his son does not retaliate.
But he might not be a good father.
I am no expert, but in my opinion, it would be ideal to find a way to have a conversation where you can bring this up without seeming to make a big deal about it.
Seems like the other boys got his number. Give them a chance before you commit yourself to trouble. Just my opinion.
At 15 I would go to the father, tell him what happened and ask him to allow you to speak to the boy.
I cannot imagine a bird colonel wants his commander to find he is raising a Nazi. Especially through a letter to the editor in the local paper.
Spell out for his father what happened, without commentary, and suggest that he discuss it with his son, as you will discuss it with your daughter.
“The other boys, all non-Jewish in the vehicle, strongly objected and made him turn it off.”
Sounds like the kids took care of it.
Kid should be shunned and ostracized by the other kids as in “get out of here, loser freak.”
Refer to Rogers and Hammerstein's "South Pacific";
You've got to be taught
To hate and fear,
You've got to be taught
From year to year,
It's got to be drummed
In your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught.
Speak to the father.
I’d raise it up through the “chain of command.” Let the kid know how you feel and tell him to knock it off. If that doesn’t work talk to the father.
Outside influences, rather than what the kid heard at home, just might be the problem. If it has come from the home, you need to know that too!
Is your daughter doing the "pre-Deb" thing?
Too many players, too much background, aggrandizement,
self-involvement and description so I can’t help you but you taught me a new word — “frum”
The kid sounds like an asshole who needs a lesson in manners and respect. Talk to his dad about his inappropriate behavior first. If that doesn’t work, see if you can get a Holocaust survivor to speak to the class. Maybe that will shame him into straightening hes act up.
Shalom.
