HI all! So I'm unsure what to do.
My 7 yr old DD's friend said to her on Friday 'I don't want to be friends with you if you're a muslim'. They had somehow got talking about religion at lunch time, DD is muslim and it seems her friend didn't know this until this week. DD was so shocked she didn't know what to say so just walked off.
So, I am friendly with girls Mum and they do stuff outside of school etc. This is totally unacceptable and DD should not have to accept this. She has been very up and down this weekend and said to me she feels insulted and that her family have also been insulted. I feel so awful for her.
Should I talk to the school or talk to the Mum???? concerned fi I talk to the school they will call the Mum, then she will say why didn't I speak with her first etc (hopefully after apologising for her DD hurtful comments and speaking with her about it)
Any ideas gratefully received. Thanks

God what a load of shit houses! OP is friends with her mum so why on earth wouldn’t you have a conversation?!

for grown adults that’s simply embarrassing

If my child had said anything like that I would want to know so I could teach my child it's completely unacceptable to think like that let alone say something like that! Sorry your DD and you are having to deal with such islamiphobia x

I think the school would rightly take this seriously. It needs nipping in the bud now. I think you should speak to the school, the mum too if you want but definitely the school. If the mum knows you are Muslim and doesn’t have a problem with you it’s unlikely the girl is getting this negative view from her, so it may be from other kids at school which needs dealing with.
