So DP and I just had a parent/teacher conference. We thought it was to talk about "girl drama" kind of stuff. But she talked about the usual here's what we're doing etc.
Then, oh by the way, as C has probably told you we're having issues on the playground and in the lunch room with kids teasing C & E (C's best friend who also has 2 moms. "Are you gay?" "Are your moms gay?" and I don't know what else. Well C never mentioned it to us.
The teacher found out because one of the students (not DD) and I'm not even sure if it was E, left a note in the teachers' mailbox to let her know what was going on.
So the teacher wanted to let us know that she told a school counselor and health teacher who contacted the local gay alliance who got them hooked up with a video on tolerance for the class to watch. She's going to send us the link so we can watch it.
But I just love our little school (charter school) that said, "okay, here's something we need to deal with". And it's not just not DD and her BFF. There are actually 5 or 6 other families with gay moms/dads at our school that we know of. And since the school only has 400 students in K-8 that's not bad.
So I'll let you know how it turns out, I'll be curious to see if any parents cry foul, but again, I don't know exactly what the video is.
