Racist school mums

[Jennybeans401]

Over the past week I've been a bit shocked to hear two of the school mums being racist. They both know it's wrong but it's clear that they (and their families) are very racist.

Our dcs are in a small village primary and there is very little diversity. Despite this I (naively) thought most people were like me. AIBU to suggest the school do more work to educate the children on racism? I am not naming any names but just feel it's very sad to hear these attitudes.

There's lots the school can do to promote anti racism. My DDs school does a Show Racism the Red Card day. They discuss racism and have written poems about equality. They learnt about George Floyds murder and also learn about the achievements of a variety of Black people in Black history month. I would speak to the school

I live in a little village and I am ethnic..This area is majorly English with hardly any other races/cultures..so would like to knoe what was said as it worries me

Have you experienced any racism yourself? If not, why should you be worried?

Some posters seem to have a personal vendetta against rural people and 'non-diverse' villages. Now that is very concerning indeed.

My dd is starting Primary school in September. I put up a post in our local area Facebook group to ask what people thought of the school. (As we have only lived here 4 years)
Had a privage message of a mother that said her daughter was experiencing shocking racism. She had even reported it to the school governers and ofsted. Her daughter is one of the only black children in the whole of the school.
My children are mixed race, tbh my middle one has been told she looks English anyway but I still worry..I already feel an out cast living here anyway not due to race but just find it difficult to socialise with mums in my daughter's nursery.

@mimosapompom ops comment about school & the lack of diversity was not divisive it was a description of the background & circumstances. She was concerned about what was the right way to go forward. if it had been an extremist viewpoint/comment from other backgrounds - some on here would be first through the door of the school asking for school to contact "Prevent".

Racist comments (& goodness knows looking on the web now its far more open & prevalent) need to be challenged. The parents are on school grounds & you cannot tell how scary or offensive these comments might be to parents or children there on a personal level - you cannot always tell what peoples backgrounds are. if op could hear them so could others. I am glad op challenged them, she was right to do so & that was what she was asking. It needs people of British cultural background/heritage* to do this
