In Oregon, a Catholic school principal was dismissed after involving police when two Black parents confronted her regarding a racial incident involving their fourth-grade son. The Madeleine School made headlines when Mike and Karis Stoudamire Phillips reported their son's classmate using the N-word. During their March meeting with Principal Tresa Rast, they sought accountability for this incident and a prior one involving their older child. Rast requested the couple leave, subsequently calling the police when they refused. A 911 recording captured her remarks about "parents yelling," alongside her lack of knowledge of their names. Days later, the Phillips' son faced expulsion, inciting community outrage and demands for policy reform. Rast expressed feeling "deeply betrayed" following her termination. The school's response remains unclear.
