> This past October, my 14-year-old daughter’s teacher showed up to school in Blackface for Halloween.
This wasn’t the first time she had experienced an incident like this. Something like it happened at her previous school.
Her former vice-principal was sent a racist and threatening letter, which also named fellow Black teachers and parents. I ended up having to explain to my daughter why she was no longer seeing some of her teachers at school. She totally withdrew — eventually we sought out therapy to help her process everything.
At the time, she told me it made her realize that, as a Black person, her voice didn’t matter.<
