Barked at as if they're dogs, bullied every day: Indigenous students decry schoolyard racism

When Anna confronted her classmates about this kind of behaviour she said she was told to "get over it".

"We encourage students to be part of the solution by calling out unacceptable behaviour and seeking assistance of our staff members when needed," he wrote. In a statement to the ABC, Mr Burt said inclusivity and tolerance were part of the school's core values."Our school is a place for learning, for forging friendships and building lifelong skills. It is not a place for intolerance of any kind."Professor Naomi Priest from the Australian National University said racism in schools was a national issue.

Race Discrimination Commissioner Chin Tan said the issue should be tackled in the same way as domestic violence or child abuse. Professor Juli Coffin has developed one of the few anti-bullying programs specifically for Indigenous students.

Lots of support, programs and school staff hiding behind process, giving the bullies free reign. Why not get someone with the courage to permanently expel them!!!

Didn’t have to wait long for the “not just aboriginals” comments ....

Excellent story abcnews perhaps we can ban all white kids from schools that way we cut racism completely, good work abc keep the propaganda going. Hopefully abcnews will follow suit & truly diversify by sacking all the white personnel, it’s time to walk the talk 🤔

This is disgusting so demeaning to be taunted😡

You just have to look at some of the replies on this thread to see why we have such a huge bullying problem in schools. Even people ‘against’ bullying find it hard to talk to people respectfully when they disagree with their opinions. What hope do the kids have?

People are bullied in every school in Australia, not just aboriginals

Horrible.

This is the fruit of insisting on integration: the policy that organisations like ABC insist upon. There's no dignity for anyone when aliens are forced to rub shoulders. We need separation.

'They are terms you might expect to find in the inner circles of a white supremacist group.' Because we cannot talk about persecution without some Segway to NAZI's? LOL

😡😟

billions of cameras around the world, but they miss not just UFO's, but 99.9% of racism reported by the ABC.

The people barking are dogs not people witnessing their delusions. Learn!

This will continue for as long as the courts, such as NSWADB continue to dismiss claims. I know of 1, just dismissed as being vexatious, vindictive, without substance. Autistic Kid called “spastic nigger”, “retard black shit only good for kicking”, & that was a teacher.

Bullying is rampant through most schools. 👎 No student wants to go to school if they are being bullied not just Aboriginals. 🤦‍♂️

Shameless race baiting by abc

Bullying happens to everyone. Basically the education system can do nothing about it. Bullying starts and is taught at home by the parents. Take ownership and be a parent

Bullying happens in all schools for all reasons and to all races. The more resilient you are the less you get bullied

So very sad that some of our young people can behave in this way. It costs nothing to be nice. No wonder some our indigenous children grow up without adequate education into angry adults. Bullying has the same mental health consequences regardless of the colour of skin.

But Aus society operates post school still like one big schoolyard: bullying, name calling, boy's club (esp corporate & govt) & then of course the associated racism, misogyny, violence, etc. So good luck fixing the actual schoolyard bc it's just reflecting its parent society.

First racist story of the week didn’t take long

It's not a national issue. This sorta of shit never happened at my school. What they need is some discipline. Bullying is awful and schools need to come down hard on it.

No! We solved racism! Society is perfectly fine! Lefties are deranged... sarcasm denial
