Chapter 280 Prejudice Against Single-Parent Families

“Um…”

Gabriela was in a dilemma at Jane’s words.

At the beginning of the establishment of Monteria International Kindergarten, the Parents’ Committee put forward such a rule to improve the requirement of school entry, as well as to ensure the good source of the

students.

Over the years, the kindergarten had strictly enforced this rule and never accepted children from single-parent families.

Even though Gabriela admired Shirley’s upright and kind thoughts and ideas and liked Bennett’s cleverness and cuteness, it was inappropriate for her to make an exception in front of so many parents.

“What would you say? Ms. Nolan, as the head of the kindergarten, you cannot take the lead to violate the school rules. Children from single-parent families have too many problems and flawed personalities. If this boy joined the kindergarten, children from normal families would be affected. You cannot make the exception, no matter what!” Jane said indignantly.

The parents around were incited by Jane, and they all shouted, “You cannot make the exception, no matter

what!”

Under such great pressure, Gabriela had no choice but to comfort these parents, “Everyone, please calm down. Um… In regards to this matter… I will find a way to take care of it.”

“How?”

A parent had a nasty attitude and treated Shirley and Bennett as a disaster. He said harshly, “The best way is to drive the mother and son away. If you let them, the incomplete family, stay here, it will ruin the harmony and warmth of school spirits of Monteria International Kindergarten!”

Shirley’s beautiful face instantly turned gloomy to the extreme. Her eyes were like sharp blades and fiercely stared at that parent, warning him, “You’d better shut up your stinky mouth, or else, your child will also become one of the single-parent family. I promise.”

Shirley was too aggressive, so the parent instantly fell silent, burying his head low. He was so terrified that he didn’t even dare to look up to meet Shirley’s eyes.

Not only that parent but the other parents who were full of complaints were also chicken out and did not even dare to say a word. Only Jane was like a clown, wantonly humiliating Shirley and Bennett.

Of course, Jane was subdued by Jorge’s slap in the end.

Shirley felt very sad.

Shirley had thought that Bennett and Alisha would be looked down upon because they were from a

single-parent family.

But she did not expect such a worse social environment. Society was so malicious to the single-parent family

that even normal entry to a kindergarten was restricted.

Shirley did not want to make things difficult for Gabriela, so she generously said to the crowd, “Speaking of this rule of the kindergarten, forget it. I, Shirley Wilson, is not an unreasonable person. Monteria International Kindergarten doesn’t welcome us, but I believe that some other more tolerant and better kindergartens will

do…

“However, I’d like to let you know that the children from single-parent families are not monsters or plagues. You do not have to avoid them… Whether children are outstanding and kind and have the right view of the world depends on how their parents teach them by their examples. If the parents are full of prejudice and short-sighted, their children will become the same as their parents!”

After saying that, Shirley held Bennett’s hand and said, “Ben, let’s go.”

Some of the parents present interspersed their talks with curses. They thought that Shirley was pretentious, and some were in thought and lowered their heads in guilt.

Looking at the backs of Shirley and Bennett, Gabriela felt even more ashamed.

Gabriela had come into contact with so many students and parents. It was no doubt that Bennett and Shirley were the best, hundreds of times better than many normal families. However, they were rejected by Monteria International Kindergarten. What an unreasonable school rule!

Gabriela made up her mind to find a way to fight for the qualification of school entry for Bennett.

It was getting dark after they left Monteria International Kindergarten. Shirley found a children’s restaurant nearby, and she was going to take Bennett for dinner there.

Along the way, Bennett was unusually quiet.
