Reddit Convinces Teacher to Take a Job in Brattleboro

A teacher in Philadelphia recently received a job offer in Windham County but had been seeing some negative comments online about Brattleboro. Being in a mixed-race relationship, and knowing Vermont’s stat as one of the whitest states in the nation, the poster also felt a little uncertain about how welcome her family might be.

Redditers assured her they’d not only be fine as a biracial family, but also very welcome.
