This can be said for a lot of things, but I will use private school as an example. There was a Reddit post not too long ago about middle-class parents whose teen got a scholarship to go to an exclusive, elite private school, like an upper-class, six-figure-tuition, multi-millionaire-type school, and to no one’s surprise, their kid not only got bullied badly, but the rich kids who didn’t bully them just shunned them. It was an EXTREMELY classist school, and the parent was asking, “What do I do?!” Umm, how about taking your kid out? If the kid is smart enough to get a scholarship, then they could easily get into a good school with good grades. If the kid is in an environment where they get bullied, everyone hates them. They are insecure because they are surrounded by ultra-rich kids; their performance will be poor. And also, why are you shocked, Pikachu-faced, when you sent your kid here knowing there is a high probability the kid would get bullied?

Same thing with Christian parents who are people of colour: some non-white Christians will send their kids to a mostly white Christian school and then get shocked when they experience racism (I’m not saying all majority-white Christian schools are racist; I’m using this as an example). THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU SENDING THEM THERE???! I can’t even get mad at the bullies at this point, but it’s YOUR JOB as the parent to protect your kid!

It would be like if you had a transgender or openly gay kid and you took him to a Christian church.

At a certain point this is just on you now.
