The Westport Public School System in Connecticut is under scrutiny after parents voiced concerns about racism their children have faced. Dr. Carole Felder and her husband raised the issue at a school board meeting, citing instances of racism experienced by their daughters, including a prop gun being pointed at one daughter’s head with a racist remark. Another incident involved racially charged texts exchanged between a friend and their boyfriend, causing emotional distress for the daughters. This adds to a previous claim of antisemitism against a Jewish student in the district. The district claims to have a zero-tolerance policy for such behavior, but some parents argue that it is not effectively enforced. The school board issued an apology and is promising to implement changes to address these concerns, with the Andersons advocating for stronger punishments such as expulsion for offenders. The incident has sparked a conversation about racism and discrimination in the Westport community and the need for more robust anti-bullying and harassment policies._parents are calling for stronger punishments such as expulsion for offenders.
