Editor,

I recently learned through one of my husband’s business clients about an African American family who was renting from them on South Whidbey. Apparently, the tenant, who is a mother, was distressed by the amount of bullying her children were experiencing in the South Whidbey School District because they are Black. She left the island and moved to a suburb of Seattle.

I was baffled and fully ashamed. What the hell is happening to us?

We all need to do better. Full stop.
