" According to a woman named Melissa Coon, it was what a teacher at East High School in Kansas City told her 13-year-old son, Allen, when he attempted to answer a question during Black History Month. Coon identifies that teacher as Mrs. Karla Dorsey, who is black; Allen is white... Allen was a victim of a vicious racial attack last week in which two older black teens doused him with gasoline and set him alight, saying, "This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve, white boy."

"While this crime is making headlines, Coon states that it was merely the horrible culmination of continual racial harassment her son had to endure at East High. Moreover, after conducting an investigation... I've learned that Coon's son is not alone. Other white students also report a pattern of racial harassment at the high school at the hands of their peers -- and, shockingly, their teachers."

Another case where cameras in the classroom could be helpful. Too much inappropriate garbage goes on in the public schools. Something needs to be done. (BTW, read this story, to see a picture of what real bullying looks like - and its not someone verbalizing a difference of opinion. )
The kid has a racist name. That is enough reason to attack or kill him. Whites should not go to East High. They have no right to be there. They put black kids at fear. If a black kid cannot walk down a street and not get killed, whites should not be allowed in black schools.

The teachers response, if accurately reported, was unconscionable.

The teacher's response was spot on. A white boy named "coon" should not be discussing black history.

Surely I do.... but what about Trayvon Martin? He won't get to discuss white history in class tomorrow will he?
