D16 has not said anything further about the class. Spoke with some African American moms on my D18’s cheer team this past weekend, as I said I was planning. One a teacher at the middle school that feeds to the HS. She said chalk it up to the boy being a jerk. " I know exactly who you are talking about…he will say anything if he knows it will get a raise of you. He likes to stir the pot."
