[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see classmates and teachers were photoshopped onto Holocaust victims.  I see black faces.  I see Jewish faces.  Was this an internal or external thing?  Was anyone ever expelled for this at STA?  [/quote]

This was internal. STA students (one in particular started it) photoshopped the pictures of faces of black and jewish faces of classmates and teachers on holocaust victims. He thought it was so hilarious that he shared it with others. Ultimately, I believe he was expelled, but it took awhile. Why? Because the other boys who saw the pictures did not turn him in, one of their mothers did (and I understand from others at the school that the mom got a lot of grief for having the *audacity* to bring to the attention of the school this situation). The boys did not choose the hard right over the easy wrong at the time, and after there were expulsions, there was a movement to rally behind the culprit against the school's decision to do the (very obvious) right thing.

But sure, these posts on IG are all just fake. It can't possibly be that STA has issues it needs to work on in its culture and the perpetuation of that culture by some in the admissions office, the board, and some legacy families. [/quote]
