Man, I got a lot of neg rep for making this thread. I guess we should brush stuff like this under the rug and pretend it doesn't happen.

Hard to believe.

If I had my way, everyone in the country would know about stupid **** like this.

That way, they could all just assume we were all racist D- bags. Cool.
 
So some mexican got pissed because he felt like he was being picked on by some richer and more popular white kids. So he lies about a spirit bowl celebration, doesn't tell anyone other than his father, and is now blogging about it.

Yet, no one else reported this.... Right? No one else saw this happen? I know spirit bowls can be loud, but no one else noticed this? Or saw the KKK hood? Or the nazi Salutes? Only this ONE kid? And everyone in the school was against him, right? No one in class noticed the joking? No adult saw any of this happening?

yawn

tell me when this is over. This kid needs a good hard kick in the ***. Daddy aint gonna save your butt forever. Grow a thicker skin (sometimes *gasp* you're gonna be teased in life/not be as possible as other people), get some friends, and grow up.

Are you sure? Because if you're not, I wouldn't say that.

I've talked to four former teachers, one of the guidance counselors, and a handful of different students. It's pretty much the consensus within the school. The principal and head assistant were suspended for "failing to act accordingly" despite suspending the student, and the rest of the faculty and administration is calling for the head of the District Reps who made the move without putting forth any real investigation. The administration did everything they could to weather the storm despite the student and his father going straight to the media. This is outrageous a little bit. I'm sure the accused was in the wrong and definitely deserved punishment, but there was nothing more than your typical high school hazing involved. I trust the word of the people I've talked to.
 
One last thing, I grow tired of whites always being made out to be the bullies. Have any of you actually gone to a SL High School? The bullies aren't the whites, they're the polys and Mexicans! The polys just destroyed a kid from Cottonwood last year in the bathroom. He was only a sophie for their Football team and suffered a broken leg and a torn ACL I believe... So although Alta may be a lil richer and whiter than other schools, I doubt it's this Alabama KKK infested Christian racist school that this punk is trying to portray.

Have you read any of the comments on the kid's blog?
 
After reading two different perspectives on this, I'm torn which side I should take. Maybe I won't take a side. Don't know.

Maybe the kid is blowing things out of proportion. Maybe he is doing it for attention. Or maybe, he really was offended by something he has absolutely every right to be offended about. Bottom line is racism exists and effects people differently. How much can we say when we've never grown up in someone elses' shoes? At the very least, I hope this incident educates the ignorant.
