The drawing prompted school principal Jesus Becerra (pictured) to tell B.B. the drawing was inappropriate and racist. He then punished B.B. by making her publicly apologize on the playground to her classmates and teachers. B.B. was also banned from recess and from drawing pictures for two weeks
This man is a monster. He socially humiliated the girl, then enforced social ostracization, and then banned her from engaging in artwork. For weeks. This is Stalinist/Maoist level bullshit. We talk a lot about journalists, but the Educator class is probably worse and more damaging to society in every way. California is not a viable place to live.
If this was my daughter I’d pull her from the school and home school her from then on. Seeing this is just a confirmation that my wife and I are making the right choice by building our own curriculum and homeschooling our children when they come of age.
I don't have kids, but I was (mostly) taught at home. If you're in a blue or purple state you might consider joining the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA). They're sort of like the ACLU for families engaged in homeschooling, and they've been at it since the 80's when it was in vogue to send social workers after families who homeschooled. In fact, the ease at which parents are allowed to opt out of public schooling these days in favor of doing it at home is directly attributable to their judicial and legislative advocacy over the past 40 years. They have a fairly religious conservative bent as an organization, but nothing required of members if that's not your bag.
Oh and as to your point, they offer all sorts of non-legal resources to guide you getting started.
Not going to Dox myself, but I’m in a free state that has great support for families choosing to home school. I left blue states behind when I changed industries- and praise The Lord for allowing me to do that.

Glad to hear it. Keep your head on a swivel though; I recall this story from frickin Montana.
Private school immediately. No matter the cost.
