[QUOTE="nvts, post: 85759, member: 3814"] Dear MidwestMom: There are ways to discuss this with your boss that can make you a hero. Go to him and ask if you can speak with him in confidence. Be calm, cool and collected. Start the conversation with your concern that the company is in danger and you felt that you wouldn't be a loyal employee if you didn't report it to him. Tell him what you told us without being passionate. Then you can (again, calmly) let him know how you felt and that if she had been overheard by anyone else, she could be leaving the company open to a "lawsuit and gosh knows what else!". Honestly, I hate a bigot. I love that the kids in difficult child 1 & 2's classes describe each other as "white J" or "D with the brown face". When I was at parent teachers meetings at difficult child 2's school, a woman yelled down the hall laughing - "You must be White J's mom! I'm so glad to meet you!" I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at one of those meetings in my life. She told me she was going nuts because her son kept telling her stuff from school and describing the kids by their clothes (you know mom, the kid in the yellow shirt - well, that kid was wearing a blue shirt the next day and he was getting frustrated that she didn't know who he was talking about!). I LOVE the innocence. It's the only way that our kids won't be total tools like the bus driver. Whatever you decide, I'm behind you! [img]:smile:[/img] Beth [/QUOTE]
