28. How sad is that...?
I understand, as I know the rules are different for people of color. But that's a jarring reality to present to a child. That they can't do what they see the other children (non-ethnic) doing, because the school won't hesitate to call the police.

That was my concern during the Immigration protests in socal, a year or so ago.
I loved seeing the Immigrants protest for rights. But when they tried to carry it over for days, and youth were skipping school to do so, I was concerned for them. So many don't seem to understand how the equation works:

Brown people + protest = LAPD with billy clubs, riot gear & bruised, bloody, brown people. :scared:
