Michael Eric Dyson, the eminent African American scholar, author and Georgetown professor, said his 6-year-old grandson was called the N-word and physically threatened by a white classmate at his elementary school in Washington this week.
"The student called my grandson the B word, the MF word and the N-word, then told him that he was going to take his father's gun and shoot him," Dyson told NBC News.Why am I heading to my 6 year-old grandson’s elementary school in affluent neighborhood in DC because a white kid called him a “nigger” & threatened to go get a gun & shoot him??? The kid not yet kicked out nor the police called ??? Welcome again to Trump’s white racist America.
The meeting was"fruitful," Dyson said, adding that the parents and school administrators were not defensive and that the group had a constructive discussion about staff training and diversity and inclusivity awareness that can be incorporated into its curriculum. He is holding the school administration to a hard one-month deadline to implement these recommendations.
"We will provide Mann the support it needs to adequately address this issue and continue to partner with our school communities to ensure meaningful learning and positive interactions occur within all of our school buildings,” the system said in a statement.
