Stop stirring the pot. The DEI policy at STA is hardly controversial. If you don’t like it, best go elsewhere.

Good catch. At least I didn’t call him “Jay”.

Same thing

No, as Jay is Jon’s brother

Will do. Don't need a sophomoric joke told by my 14 year old son to wreck his HS experience. I will teach him right/wrong and I will find teachers who want to educate.

If your 14 year old thinks a racist joke (which you dismiss as "sophomoric") is acceptable in any context, let alone school, by that age, you've failed as a parent -- unless of course your goal was to raise a racist, in which case, bravo!

Of course, everyone would agree as to what is really "racist" right? Of course, everyone knows "hate speech" when they see it, right? Tell that to this Native American student at Yale Law School - also published by the Free Beacon (this time with tape recordings to prove the facts in the story.)

This is on point and a perfect example of why the STA draft policy is so flawed

So here is the sad and shocking truth for you totalitarian DEI loving liberals, your kids are the ones making the racist comments not my independent no party affiliation ones. Mine have not only been raised to abhor racism but unfortunately and more acutely have a a genuine fear of the thought police and cancel culture. Your liberal children have the mantle of liberal hubris--they think that because they are so accepting they can say whatever they want, and they do, I've been shocked by what comes out of these kids mouth whose parents publicly espouse absolute" tolerance" at all costs. As far as the STA policy, it is dangerous and it won't and can't be applied evenly. I have no doubt that if the two kids say the same racist thing and one is the son of a Republican law maker and the other the son of Democratic one, or better yet a liberal media talent (STA really loves those these days) the outcome will not be the same. And what about the race of the racist perp? I've heard black kids say racist things to white, Asian, gay, and Hispanic kids--will they be treated the same? I doubt it.

I'm not surprised that they passed on responding to a loaded question that assumes something not stated in the text of the memo. The fact that impact is of utmost importance doesn't mean that intent is not taken into consideration in the punishment.

It's too bad that the Free Beacon isn't able to approach topics like these with some minimal level of intellectual honesty.
