There is nothing to read here. The content is over there, to your right.

I may, however, at some point, put something here. Some day. Eventually. No pressure.


sticks and stones, redux

I'm not even going to get into it. Suffice it to say, I was lied to. It has occured before and my daughter's previous encounter with anti-Semitism was not dealt with as it should have been. Case in point - the following is what my 11 year old was faced with at school today (it was painted over quickly, before I arrived with camera in hand - how expedient):

1) gates of hell - only a small part of the whole.. included are "Hail (sp) Hitler", "KKK", "Burn Jews".. feeling sick yet?

Yeah. So.

I've already ranted and raved in a previous (private) blog entry and I can't do it again. It hurts too fucking much.

My daughter is afraid and I don't know how to comfort her. Again. And have her believe me this time.

She's terrified and angry - angry at kids who think this is cool, angry at a school that has done nothing to stop it, angry at a community that won't recognize it, angry at the whole fucking world for not being intelligent and courageous enough to get beyond racism.

And she's angry at me.

And my heart is broken because her heart is broken and I can't heal any damn thing anymore.
