[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, it is Bobbi who is implying that the Langley kids are racist by bringing up the race issue in the first place.  [/quote]

So true.  Read this excerpt:

"[b]At the game, which was hosted at McLean, Langley students hurled insults at McLean’s step team, shouted demeaning messages at the opposing fans, and even managed to put seventeen holes in McLean’s gym bleachers using their feet[/b]. By the end of the game, the police were involved, and one officer was even hit when a McLean student threw a water bottle across the gym. In a school-wide address on Monday morning, Principal Matt Ragone expressed his disappointment at Langley’s behavior, saying that he “expected better,” and that “Langley should be THE model school for good and positive behavior just as we are the model academically and on the playing field.” Mr. Ragone later addressed the abuse inflicted on the McLean step team, saying, “Their step team gets mocked by a lot of schools, not just Langley. Those girls are really courageous to get out there in front of everybody, just to be made fun of. * * * Mr. Ragone said he was saddened when on Friday, Langley became one of the many schools to mock the step team. [b]“People see us [making fun of them] and think it’s a racial reaction….They accuse us of being racist. And I really don’t know what to say to that.”[/b]

Oh, wait.  That was from the Langley student newspaper, not the Patch.  I guess Ms. Bowman should have reported "Boys will be boys" and "those minority girls were just asking to be insulted."  [/quote]
