Why was the thread on NYT's "Nice White Parents" deleted?

[Anonymous]

NYT is calling attention to a huge issue in public education.

The racists came out of the woodwork for that thread. I started removing inappropriate posts and realized that, in the end, only three posts would be left. Since the racists would probably return and I am having a busy day, I just got rid of the thread. It wasn't really a political topic anyway.

As long as it doesn't turn racist, I have no problem with it.
