You mean other than calling the police to escort a black student out in front of his peers?

Are you saying, with 100% certainty, that they ONLY did that because of his race?

Yes, heâs black, so he simply MUST have been intent on doing little more than âstirring controversy.â Those people just arenât capable of much more than that, are they?

It isnât my job to do your work for you. Itâs a 430 message thread with a link to the article at the top. Start there.

Sorry, but it is 10 AM on first day back at work after a three day weekend. Iâm watching the end of a presentation but then I have actual work to do. It isnât my job to go digging through the thread for nuggets of data for you since youâre too lazy to read it yourself.

Rehashing the same idea thatâs been brought up over and over and over in this thread and then taken down over and over and over in this thread suggests your research skills are lacking rather than an argument.

I am reading through the long ass thread now actually, but at approx 100 posts in Iâm yet to find anything that says, that a white kid would not have been treated the same.
As another poster up thread said:
There is no right to unlimited free speech under any circumstances. Not is there a right to âno consequenceâ speech.
The disruption to the ceremony was not made by the student. The disruption was his removal by force. Nothing unpeaceful or arrogantly disruptive was on his agenda. He wanted to wear a not uncommon piece of garb.
Claiming to know the motivations of another is a form of violence and attention seeking. It is also unjust.
Just sayinâ, âmy friendâ, âbe carefulâ.

Actually no one is forcing you to, itâs a suggestion just in case you were genuinely interested in some intellectual discourse.

Thanks for affirming what I already suspected.
And thanks for your âpermissionâ to do so!
My life is now complete.

He gets less edgy when he warms up to you. Until then it will be you not him. Some people hold onto this winning and losing thing for a long time past when itâs useful, eh?
that strangeness often comes from a difference in expectations.
I would estimate that @enso and @M_Dub expect not to be your footmen.

I actually donât mind âedgyâ⌠when thereâs some actual substance to back it up.
But just being contrary for the sake of contrariness is boring as fuck.
And demanding that others reiterate a point which has been stated repeatedly only to disregard that point each time is a core tenant of derailment, as are some the other tactics Iâve seen employed in this thread.
The bottom line regarding this story is this:
No matter what anyoneâs motivation may have been, the outcome is the same; the altercation was escalated needlessly on the part of the admin, (yâknow the âresponsible adultsâ and so called âprofessionalâ educators) and in the end, they are the ones whose reputation will suffer the most.

And I never expected them to, but they were the ones saying âITâ S HIDDEN IN THIS LONG ASS THREAD SOMEWHERE ;Dâ.
Incidentally, 250 posts in and yet to see anything other than âBut canât you see itâs racistâ type comments with little to actually explain that. Certainly nothing saying that the administrators wouldnât have treated a white kid exactly the same had they broken the rulesâŚ

is that a direct quote, or is that a quote of your own imagination?
You wonât get anywhere quoting your imagination and then attributing that quote to someone else, and then calling them intellectually dishonest or lazy.
