We had a “southern gentleman” teaching at my high school, in Oregon. In 1976, we had a black student enroll. The teacher’s reaction. upon seeing the kid, was “Get your black ass out of my classroom.”

Different time.

a similar experience with a fellow employee of mine.

In 1986 he took a job in one of our factories in south east GA (population 5000). They moved from Connecticut.

The first day his age 15 son was in school (rat tail hair etc), he got sent home for his hair and for disrespecting his teachers (not saying “yes sir/no ma’am” )
