Pine Grove

We have attended Gobles public school for 3 years now. Each year my son has faced racism both intentionally and unintentionally. There has been at minimum 4 incidents per year. I have approached several staff including teachers, principles and the superintendent. Our concerns have been met with "the child didn't mean it to be racist" or "I don't think he understands what he's saying" (yet my son, the only black child in the class was approached and called the N word) I have spoken to a few staff at the school about possibly teaching cultural competence and am shot down. Gobles has failed to provide a healthy learning setting.
