5 thoughts on “Protected: The Teacher and the Bully”
Please don’t give these people credit for who you are. The passion individuality and sensitivity was there before the abuse. They probably saw it in you. Due to their own insecurities needed to rip it down. Pity them while sitting back eating your popcorn, but never ever give them credit.
A very insightful look into the eyes and mind of a young African-American male coming of age. I am always amazed by the collective experience we have as African-American children having to engage with ” Teachers” that view us through the racial lens that society has constructed. Thank you for giving a voice to thousands of little boys who have these experiences and don’t have the words to articulate them.
