Post Election Racial Tensions

I was disturbed to hear that black children in schools in Alabama and Mississippi are facing racial name calling, including use of the "N" word, and being subjected to personal attacks including one reported case of a child being spat upon. To add insult to injury these incidents are going unpunished and some feel being encouraged by unresponsive classroom teachers and principals. One school will allow discussions about John McCain and Sarah Palin but students are forbidden to talk about Barack Obama.

Is this the "Real America"? How should parents and communities respond?

Let's Talk About It.
