[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very telling that the majority here don't have a kid at SWW but think they know the environment. Well you really don't have a clue! The incident was the tipping point related to other issues. The meaning of the song today can be something quite different to teens than 25 years ago or in your bubble. People will give you the benefit of the doubt. Just say "I'm sorry ,I didn't know" and remove the post. This doesn't appear to be the case. I glad my DD and classmates took a stand. It's a learning experience for all. [/quote]

Well then explain what happened. Did the kids intend for it to be racist or  offensive then refuse to take it down? Or did they post a consensual video with a silly song and then get accused of racism? Is the history of the song known in teen circles? Someone opened up a discussion on a board where it’s obvious that many people do not have kids at Walls and don’t know what happened. Why discuss if you’re not actually going to discuss? [/quote]

Not OP...Because only the involved parties actually know everything. There are privacy laws you know. Frankly, it's really only their business.[/quote]

When kids are doing walkouts, letters going out to all parents, rumors spread online- then yes, people discussing it should have to provide more facts.

Ideally what would happen is that Walls admins would resolve in a fair way, but that’s not going to happen. [/quote]

Exactly. There was a walkout and these kids are being pegged as racists on the internet despite people not actually knowing the facts? Come on[/quote]
