Asking about brownies being served at a party is not racist.
The whole story about the prosecutor just makes it more stupid.
Police should not have been called. The 9 year old should not have been interrogated by police.
But then again peanut butter sandwiches are also racist (some dim bulb elementary school principal in Oregon).
“Asking about brownies being served at a party is not racist.”
And where is the evidence that that’s what happened?
I do agree that this was a matter the school should have handled. But it wasn’t the only recent incident in the school district to be mishandled due to this policy:
“Jacqueline Wolfe, whose 7-year-old son was questioned by police in early June, said Wednesday that the lack of information about her own case and the overall policy has been unacceptable.
“Wolfe said that around noon one school day, her son Tory was roughhousing with a fellow second grader in line for lunch at Tatem when a teacher said their play had become too aggressive, and the school called the police.
“After speaking with two police officers along with his principal, Tory thought he had been “arrested for playing with his friend,” his mother said. He has been too shy and upset to speak about the incident for nearly a month, she added.
“Wolfe said she did not hear about the scuffle until nearly 3 p.m., hours after it happened, when a Collingswood police officer knocked on her front door.”
