Topic: Racism, Racismo

Submission:

At McMeans Jr. High, there was a new non-Black student who would REPEATEDLY use the N-word and other derogatory slurs directly towards my classmates and I in our English class. Our teacher was Black and even overheard him talking to us, and did absolutely nothing to stop him at all. However, a Black student in my grade at McMeans said the N-word while talking to friends, was sent to the principal's office, and was given a long form. It seems like Katy ISD really does nothing to stop racist students and hyper fixates on unnecessary discipline, for example, the Black girl previously mentioned being given a long form and other things like the dress code.


En la secundaria McMeans, había un nuevo estudiante que repetidamente usaba la “n-word” y otros insultos despectivos directamente hacia mí y mi compañerx de salón en nuestra clase de inglés. Nuestro maestro era negro e incluso lo escuchó hablar con nosotrxs y no hizo absolutamente nada para detenerlo. Sin embargo, una estudiante negra en mi grado en McMeans dijo la “n-word” mientras hablaba con amigos, y fue enviada a la oficina del director y se le dio una forma larga (una medida disciplinaria). Parece que Katy ISD realmente no hace nada para detener a los estudiantes racistas y se hiper-fija en la disciplina innecesaria, por ejemplo, a la chica negra mencionada arriba se le dio una forma larga y el distrito castiga otras cosas irrelevantes como el código de vestimenta.


Additional comments:

The Black student given the long form, my friend, told me that even her parents thought it was ridiculous.


La estudiante negra dada la forma larga, mi amiga, me dijo que incluso sus padres pensaban que era ridículo.
