 For the third week, of the fall semester with LAUSD, I wasn’t sure what my challenges would be so I chose to coordinate around the color blue because blue means harmony and peace and I wanted to be prepared. 

Little did I know I need to maintain that balance when an Hispanic  student used the N-word without caring that there were three African-Americans in our class/ myself the teacher and another student. 

Although I immediately corrected him, and complained  to an administrator, my rage was eased by the auraof the shade I was wearing and my ability to stand up for myself and my people against such blatant and belligerent ignorance.
