My Son is being bullied in school. His classmates call him smelly Indian and keep teasing that if they switch of the lights, all they can see is his teeth. I tell him to laugh it off, but I can see he is hurting. What should I do?

Definitely talk to the teacher regarding this. I know they are just kids and some will argue that they don't mean any harm but if their behaviour isn't corrected or changed, it's going to become a norm to make fun of other races (or anyone different), which is unacceptable. It is never acceptable to hurt someone else regardless of the reason. If you know the parents of the other children, you can approach them for help too. Glad that your son is comfortable opening up to you regarding this. I've heard too many stories of children being bullied, teased and keeping it all to themselves, often with tragic consequences :(
