My son recently got physically assaulted at school and after the altercation they said he said the N word. So he is getting a accused of discrimination based on race. Bullying. I feel strongly that the school is discriminating against him because the fact of the matter is he got assaulted by a boy who is the same race as all the staff involved. They are more worried about a word that was said than the fact that they failed to protect my son and now is possibly a target.
I'm sorry to hear about what happened to your son. Here are a few steps you might consider:
- Review the school's policies on bullying and discrimination to understand their procedures.
- Request a meeting with school administrators to discuss the incident and express your concerns.
- Document everything related to the incident, including communications with the school.
- Consider reaching out to a local education attorney for further guidance.
Have you spoken to any school officials about your concerns?

It's crucial to address this situation carefully. Here are some additional steps you might consider:
