Parents of students at Pepper Tree Elementary School in Upland are taking public and legal action over racist attacks against their children, including verbal taunting and racist illustrations handed to one student at the beginning of Black History Month.

Some parents of students at Pepper Tree Elementary School in Upland said their children received racist cards with alarming illustrations, including one that read "My favorite cotton picker" and "Golden N-word pass."

"During COVID, this young child started to receive links during the Zoom classes," said attorney James Bryant, who went on to explain the link displayed a picture of a so-called "golden N-word pass." "This time last year, when my son was called 'monkey' in class, the only reason why we stopped with our complaint to the principal is because she assured my wife and I. She looked us in the face and said there will be training," said Rome Douglas, who has several children enrolled in the school. "I found out two weeks ago, none of that ever happened."

"The evidence that was presented against him was a redacted screenshot of an image that only had what he said in reply to countless images and words," Newman said. "They said they did an investigation and they could not find any wrongdoing by the aggressor who distributed these cards."has since reopened an investigation due to reports of "persistent behaviors."

Kabene Gabremariam's son received a "golden N-word pass" in September. Gabremariam's son asked her what the "N-word" meant."After I learned what it means - N-word - my heart breaks," she said. "It took me a couple of days to explain for my son what it really means."
