I received a call from my sons

Nothing’s said about the circumstances, apparently. Was it a sturdy chair and thrown in such a way as to not cause it or anything or anybody else harm? I mean boys shouldn’t be doing that, they should be throwing balls or doing other energetic things appropriate to a gym or outdoors, but not every such thing needs to be ginned up into a federal case. It used to be that a stern warning (by a MALE teacher) and a promise to paddle the boy if he does that again, would have sufficed.
Look how she one-hand catches that chair someone throws at her after she chucks the table. Cool in combat.
But it needs to be asked, because if black kids are getting in trouble even in schools where the teachers are black... then it's most likely not racism.
Not sure if you're being sarcastic, so I'll just go ahead and play it straight: we don't know the full story. If that other kid threw something and it was the very first time he'd ever gotten in trouble, that might be a factor. We don't know what he threw, either. Eraser? Not quite the same as a chair. Does her child work the teacher's nerves relentlessly all day? Might could be so, yes? I'd just want to know more.
It’s true, that it is hard to get the truth out of situations like this.
But still. Where are the men?
“A recent study published by the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that the subjects mostly white, female undergraduates viewed black boys as older and less innocent than their white peers. “
But of course this is what it’s ALL about....
Questions for Tunette: (1) What are you going to do to discipline your brat so he stops acting like a monster? (2) If the kid hurts another kid because he is allowed to remain in class, are you going to pay the victim’s medical bills?

Yep that is just begging for the kids to be abused
Well no more than tree times and only after I got to high school. I had this quirk. When a kid hit me hard as in to inflict pain wanting to fight I would hit back. First time it happened I hit back. Suspended. Second time same thing. Third time I didn't and still got three days. My parents put the principal on notice at that point I would continue to defend myself suspension or no. No I wasn't a kid that went around looking for trouble or tried to get into trouble.
By my senior year I had transferred to a smaller high school. One guy picked a fight & I returned a punch. We were sent to the principal. He told me go on to class. The other kid he said step inside the office. Other kid was a known trouble maker. Neither of us got suspension. This was in the early 1970's BTW. Of all the ones I got in a fight with none ever bothered me again. In high school today a simple fist fight results in police action.
You could be right, but imagine if your child or grandchild came home and said I got hit my a chair that some little boy threw.
The fact the mother brags about her own suspensions in school is very telling. . .
The ‘amazing father’ would be the obvious person to straighten the kid out, yet aside from a single throw away reference he doesn’t seem to factor in as a possible solution to the problem.
I think any three year old that throws chairs has a problem or is a serious problem child.
I wasn’t being sarcastic. Neither was I comparing all the offenses. No one was hurt and I think it is outrageous that a teacher cannot handle a 3 yr old and that situation and then phone the parent to inform them and that applies to all the parents regardless of the offense. Why do we always go for the glass half empty?
get into a decent private school - ie not pc - or homeschool. normal kids can’t make it in govt indoctrination centers today.
This seems out of whack. If this was my kid, I’d be down at the school immediately to observe what was going on. In fact, I was always in the classrooms from the beginning, helping the teachers and observing my kids, to make sure they could handle the classroom setting. Why isn’t this mother doing that? Her sons are so young, and they are obviously having trouble, yet she doesn’t go immediately and find out what’s going on?
No, she talks to her friends, decides it’s racism, and writes an article, decides to take on a national awareness raising campaign. No, get your butt down and help your sons, or get them out of that situation. That’s your job as a parent!
That parenting style- disconnected- likely stems from her own dysfunctional parents, and is a big reason why her kids are acting up. They need her 100 percent ,
undivided, attention.

3 year olds don’t go to school.
I still don’t know enough. Are the other kids constant pains in the rear, or was their misbehavior a one-time thing?
Are the other kids always smarting off, or are they generally nice and well-behaved? What about the author’s kids? Are they generally well-behaved?
If two kids throw chairs and one is always in trouble, but the other never is, they deserve to be punished differently.
Ah. Well... I’d like to hear the teacher’s side of the story anyway. But yes, I do think suspending a 3 year old is a bit odd.
