[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is this a “hate bias incident” if the documents were kept private and then deleted? Honestly raising 1st Amendment issues here. It sounds like an offensive joke that was written down by some friends but went no further. Is this a thought crime?[/quote]

Creating a group, making a slide presentation and having a Google doc sign on a school-owned chrome book - and against LGBTQ students is a HATE CRIME. It is not a 1st amendment right. It was found by a teacher during class. This is highly concerning. [/quote]

We don’t know any of that. It sounds like it was deleted and somehow recovered as well. This may be misuse of the laptop, but if they didn’t disseminate it, how is it a “hate/bias event” unless merely saying/writing certain words is banned? [/quote]

It never mentioned being deleted and it was sent to at least 2 people.  It's disgusting.  Middle schoolers are old enough to know this is hate[/quote]

The article states the student shared the docs with two other students then deleted them. It’s unclear if the two other students were in on it or not, or if anyone was targeted by the supposedly homophobic student.[b] The fact that the police were called is just … wow, way extreme[/b]. [/quote]

Agreed.  Would the police  have been called if the students were white?[/quote]
