A Contra Costa County School District is now hoping to turn a racist incident into a teachable moment at Diablo View Middle School in Clayton.
In fact, Mt. Diablo Unified School District’s superintendent believes the incident could spark some difficult, but necessary, conversations about race.
“Honestly, it’s disgusting to me. Children learn from what they see and I’m a firm believer of that,” said Clayton resident Vina Ferrat.
Ferrat is the mother of a student at Diablo View Middle School. She told NBC Bay Area Friday that she is still trying to process an incident that took place at the school last week.
