when I discovered bruises all over my non Caucasian child's shins in 4th grade, learned the boy across the table was kicking her everyday

told her to tell him to stop but he didn't
then told her to kick him back; she was afraid to get in trouble but I said we'd stand up for her

the day she kicked back was the last time he kicked her
Sometimes the direct approach works best.....good for her and you....

not a joke to my child!

last week, she cried recalling all the times kids targeted her on the bus & at school
mentioning her ethnicity and/or country she was born in

she's come home with big bruises from bites & bruises all over her face (more than once)

NO, not a joke!
my guess kids learned this from parents who are racist

You misunderstand. I don't mean haha funny joke...

clarify what you mean then because racism does exists

even teachers at the school have treated my child "as less than" compared to white kids

Joke...as in another word for ridiculous

What does this article have to do with the topic at hand? The teachers were advising the students of the restrictions due to COVID-19 protocols in CA...nothing really to do with the topic at hand.
Goes to character -- public schools are attacking white students, trying to keep all students out of school, and demanding $130B to consider reopening... doesn't really seem like those questioning "whiteness" are actually motivated by humanitarian desires

The article you posted doesn't say anything about that. Maybe you posted the wrong link? It's just saying that the teachers are telling the students that they'll have absolutely 0 real social interaction due to COVID-19 protocols.
