How can I go about having him understand that is not the case, but his behavior. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) As said by another responder, having someone come into the classroom to monitor behavior of the students seems to fit best with this situation. With a monitor, there is no way that any lies or bias can be strayed from the truth. However, this monitor may have to come in quietly for an extended amount of time because students behaviors seem to change when there is another adult present. I would also give a presentation on the seriousness of race, true acts of racism such as longer prison sentences, and a form for every student to bring home to confirm that they are allowed to watch this presentation and confirm that they have watched it. This will hopefully allow the student to see that these remarks are more than just words and comes from a very serious root of systemic racism in the system. I would hope that they would be aware that I fight against that system, not for it.
