I just found out about a teacher displaying discrimination during class.
She is bringing doughnuts to class and any member of the marching band or football team are welcome to as many as they want....other students can not have any.
The members of the select groups can eat them during class and in front of the other students.......this goes on for all her classes on Fridays during the FB season.
I was horrified when I heard today and made some phone calls to make sure my child was telling the whole story and found it to be true and this took place last year also.
One student asked for a doughnut and after replying they were not a band or football member..... "You don't work your butt off like they do" was the answer they got from the teacher.
I have nothing against these groups and my child is even in the band but I feel this is wrong on a lot of levels.
If the tragedies at Columbine or V-Tech taught us anything it is all it takes is 1 mentally unbalanced student to feel inferior to others and a disaster might be in the making and we have a teacher openly favoring a certain group during class.
I'm headed to the school first thing Monday morning to talk to the principal but not sure how to proceed if he doesn't agree with me that this is a very serious matter........I feel it is and have thought of taking legal action if it would be possible to hammer home my point.
Their handbook has a line in it insuring ...
"The Board of School Directors is committed to providing all students with a safe,healthy and civil environment in which all members of the school community are treated with mutual respect,tolerance and dignity.
2 years ago the school was locked down when a person in camo was spotted by teachers close to the fence with what appeared to be a weapon.....To this day that case was never solved.Sadly schools have to be very careful anymore and I am baffled at this open display of favoritism by a teacher....I'm a scared parent I'll be honest about that.
I'm not looking for any money and would donate any to charity if it would end up that way but hope to get some clear answers about a solution from the principal Monday.
Any legal or even personal advise about how to handle this would be taken....or I'm I just worrying to much and should just let it alone.

A teacher is under no duty to show equal benefit to all students. If a teacher wants to reward ONE student in a classroom she can do so. They are her doughnuts. She doesn't have to buy one for every person in school just because she buys them for one class.
