To hope these parents are ashamed of their boys tonight?

[Dilbertian]

Today my Y9 ds was taunted by boys making the Nazi salute at him. This, after a couple of weeks of 'Dirty Jew'.

If these are your sons, is this what you want for them? Is this the attitude you would like them to have to their fellow human beings? Do you feel proud of them? Would you like them to be treated this way? What are you saying to them tonight? What do you think the Head of Year should say to them tomorrow?

What do you think your sons should do next?

Or maybe - meh, it's just bantz, boys will be boys.

Absolutely awful , no one should have to put up with this

I’d think they would be suspended.

Truly bloody awful! What are the school going to do about it, it’s a hate crime and year 9s are old enough to know what they are doing.

This is absolutely awful OP. It’s a hate crime. I hope the school will take serious action on this tomorrow. This should mean suspension at least shouldn’t it?
It certainly isn’t just bantz, I don’t think that way and I would sincerely hope that most of this country don’t think like that either.

Your poor son. Please insist the school record this as a racial hate crime (they should anyway but many try and wriggle out of it as it waves a big red flag).

They should be suspended. HT should get police in. This is bullying (and the school should deal with it under the behaviour policy) but it is also illegal hate speech and these boys need to know this and face the consequences.

If these were my sons, I don't know whose wrath they should fear the most. Mine, the head teachers, their fathers, their grandparents, their friends.

Most probably mine.

And I would feel so, inutterably stink that any child of mine thought this attitude was legitimate, let alone behaviour.

Aroha (love) to your DS.

I know it doesn't seem it sometimes, but far more people condemn this behaviour and would stand with your son, than not.

I'd be horrified if it were my sons. I'd expect them to be suspended, and they'd be losing all privileges at home too. Except maybe being allowed to watch TV and see some Holocaust footage!

I hope your ds is ok

Awful. I'm so sorry your boy is going through that. I had a few anti-Semitic slurs made to me when younger but I do think it's worse now that then.

Make sure they come down on them like a ton of bricks.

If your DS knows their names and they are reported, the school are obliged to report this to the local authority as a racist incident.

Sorry your family have experienced this .

Does your ds know who they are? If so i hope you have reported them.

I'd be horrified if they were my Sons however it is highly possible the views were learned from their parents therefore they will be feeling far from ashamed.

Absolutely a hate crime. Report.

So sorry this has happened. I hope their parents are ashamed but if they are 14 where do you think they were taught that behaviour. Disgusting.

If the school don't deal with it properly then involve the police.

Hate crime, report to school and police. Don't stop until these boys have been properly disciplined, they need suspensions. Love to your DS.

That’s shocking! I hope you’ve reported? In my school, after the ‘dirty Jews’ incidents we’d certainly be excluding them, and would actually be heading towards permanent exclusion. Horrific!

This is awful. I wonder what their parents are like.

It’s disgusting and vile. But they almost certainly got that from their parents so I imagine they’re unconcerned.

How utterly disgusting !!! I am so sorry that your son has had to endure this racial hate crime !
I hope he is ok ....well as much as he can be in this situation.
I would report this to the police but hopefully the head teacher will do that sending hugs to you all x

Disgusting. If I was the Head of Year it would be reported to the Police, PREVENT would be involved, there would be an external exclusion and the future of those students time at school would seriously be in question.

Oh OP, I can only imagine how you feel. It's so sad that kids can become so hateful at a young age. I hope you tell the school and be clear that you will involve the police if it is not dealt with in a satisfactory manner. This is not banter or teasing. It's far worse.

I wouldn't bother with the headteacher. I'd go straight to the police.

This isn't 'bullying' this is harrassment and a hate crime.

These boys need their names to be on record. Police need to keep an eye on them.

The school should bring in the police. This is a hate crime as has already been said. Please report it to the school or directly to the police.

Absolutely shocking OP. So sorry for your son and I hope the police get involved
