Prominent scholar says a racist slur was hurled at his 6-year-old grandson at a D.C. public elementary school

By Perry Stein Perry Stein Reporter covering D.C. education Email Bio Follow May 1 at 12:44 PM A prominent African American scholar and commentator says a racist epithet was hurled at his grandson Monday at a public elementary school in a mostly white and wealthy neighborhood in Northwest Washington.

“He said he felt sad and scared. It’s ridiculous for a 6-year-old to be subjected to this,” Dyson said in an interview Monday evening. “You never feel as powerless as when your children suffer something you can’t immediately fix or resolve.” The alleged episode comes just days after a blackface incident involving students at a top-performing high school in the Maryland suburbs. Walt Whitman High School in Montgomery County serves a mostly white student body.

Dyson said he rushed to the school Monday when he learned of the incident. He said he, his wife and his son, who is the father of the 6-year-old, met with the principal. The family said it plans to meet with school leaders again Tuesday. Dyson tweeted about the incident Monday afternoon, writing, “Welcome again to Trump’s white racist America.”

Many children in every school every day in every state get racial slurs thrown at them.

Quite an overreaction. Typical.

The horror

What about all the 6 year old grandsons out there who have had racist slurs hurled at them who don’t have prominent scholars for grandfathers?

Washington Post on the job tracking down racist 6 year olds

See here's the problem with that naive reaction ... Instead of rushing to the public elementary school Principal ... he should have gone to the White House and punched out President Trump.

The report said no language referring to race was used. So is this “prominent scholar” lying to get more coverage?

Is his name JussieSmollett?

Just say Micheal Eric Dyson in the headlines. We follow his tweets. You left out the part about the threat to shoot him also.

X

and this is now national news....

Jail the other 6 year old for racisming!

Get over it
