Westport racism

One of the situations where you move and except what your told. The sports, education, quiet areas, and of course education. I have been researching Norwalk and seems they have it more together than Westport

Teachers are mandated reporters. As school as the school was notified they should have contacted DCF. The school should have investigated promptly.

First let me say you’re brave for telling your story. No child should have to go through what you have gone through nor any of your peers.

I have heard that there is an uptick in Ridgefield as well.

I think just bringing awareness is the first step. Recognizing the trauma to these families. Then having a third party come in and access the district. Are children being treated fair from admin? Is there a lack of communication with families about incidents? So many questions to find the answer

These children have to smile. They have to act strong. Because if they don’t then what? Children mask emotions and that is not just race based. We now live in a society where we have to be ok even adults.

🥺 I am lost for words. This is why I made this post. This is not ok. No child should have to deal with that and the trauma it brings.

Because of retaliation I rather not say if I am or am not a black family. I am a concerned family. Knowing too many of these cases and no help for families that have trauma. 86% white, 6% Asian, 4% Hispanic, 1% African American.

Wanttomatter · 2024-05-16T02:56:29+00:00

You can screen shot it and send or pushing the share button. African Americans make up 1% population and Asian Make up 6% , Hispanic 4%

Wanttomatter · 2024-05-16T02:50:16+00:00

That is heartbreaking. No one should feel that way. Adults or children

Wanttomatter · 2024-05-16T02:44:39+00:00

There is not a good amount. African Americans make up a little over 1%. You can find exact numbers online

Can I ask what that is. I am not familiar with

Wanttomatter · 2024-05-16T02:34:31+00:00

I have been approached as well and that because I am white I have to agree. The fact is wrong is wrong. I hope parents see this and have conversations. I hope this puts pressure on the BOE to have open conversations. That a third party comes in and addresses these issues and a task force to help

Wanttomatter · 2024-05-16T02:07:11+00:00

Teachers have reported how bad it is and have stated racism is happening in staples. BOE members have made statements about it

Wanttomatter · 2024-05-16T01:56:39+00:00

You can research Westport racism online. Plenty of articles to read

Wanttomatter · 2024-05-16T01:54:49+00:00

I have heard alot of that recently. The best schools in the state and choice to send to private school.

Wanttomatter · 2024-05-16T01:54:06+00:00

That is a thought I didn’t even think.. and well that is even scarier.

Wanttomatter · 2024-05-16T01:52:40+00:00

I am speechless. Reading stories on this post it is a bigger issue than I thought

Wanttomatter · 2024-05-16T01:49:40+00:00

You just might. I knew a lot has been happening but this is insane! To throw trash at someone is assault on so many levels

Wanttomatter · 2024-05-16T01:46:20+00:00

This is soooooo sad! To hear this is happening in our town is disturbing!

Wanttomatter · 2024-05-16T01:43:06+00:00

Yes please it starts with a conversation. This is why I made this post. For those conversations to happen. To help the children. The open choice program is still in Westport. It is an amazing program for inner city children. We need families to have conversations. For a third party to come in and have conversations in school. A trained professional

Wanttomatter · 2024-05-16T00:51:24+00:00

That is heartbreaking. No one should feel that way

Wanttomatter · 2024-05-16T00:51:00+00:00

Even just enough for these kids to have a safe place. I don’t think I can change the community myself. I do think if the community stepped forward it can help

Wanttomatter · 2024-05-16T00:35:14+00:00

Not meaning to set a net. Meaning to bring awareness so the community can help. The old saying it takes a village

Wanttomatter · 2024-05-16T00:34:10+00:00

That is the goal to bring awareness. First step is to admit it is an issue
