[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]St. Anselm’s has a long history of serving high ability black boys well. This episode means  very little against that backdrop. Hopefully, this matter can be settled reasonably with lessons learned. [/quote]

This episode means very much against any backdrop. [/quote]

Not really at all — it’s a non-systemic matter at an institution that has been great for a certain population of boys, especially intellectually ambitious boys of color. It will continue to be great for such boys.

Regarding this matter, do what needs to be done in terms of $ settlement or personnel changes, then move on. [/quote]

Yes - mid tier black boys need not apply. [/quote]

Nobody “mid-tier” is likely to be admitted to St. Anselm’s or do well in the extremely demanding academic program. This has nothing to do with race. [/quote]

Exactly.  And, in the rare case when there is a slip through admissions, they will struggle, as did this child.[/quote]

Exactly. If you can’t cut it academically, the Abbey community will bully you with racist and ableist torments until you decide to quit, as did this child. The system worked as intended here. [/quote]

Do you have any first hand knowledge of this sort of activity?[/quote]

Yes.

I also have first hand knowledge of the Abbey community dismissing this racist and ableist bullying behavior as acceptable because the black boy at issue “slipped through the cracks” in admissions and wasn’t one of the “intellectually ambitious boys of color” who generally do not become targets.
