I Miss The Concept Of Shame
At risk of sounding old fashioned, if I were a parent and my child were being suspended with such regularity, I’d have questions about their behaviour.

I mean, if my child behaved in such a way as to result in their being suspended no fewer than thirty-seven times, I think I might be embarrassed, perhaps even ashamed. I don’t think I’d regard it as an obvious basis for a political flex or an air of self-righteousness.
While trying to deny other parents a chance to get their own children the hell away from kids like mine.

And the kid’s name was Dindu.
Is Nuffin the patronymic or matronymic?
Also the reason her kid was suspended fewer times this year than last year is very likely the new rules whereby the bad behavior of the melanin-enhanced is ignored, lest the school be called raaacist.
They don’t have to obey the law because they have Magical Melanin.
I think it’s fair to say it wasn’t the best date ever.
I’m going for her first grader getting suspended more than once because she has no shame.
Also, who the hell records their dates?
I suppose it’s possible that this was staged.
