According to US News, the school has about 6% minorities: https://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/pennsylvania/districts/union-city-area-sd/union-city-high-school-17389

These girls may have been truly clueless. Sad that their teachers were ignorant that Howard is an HBCU and the hats were especially insensitive in the wake of Charlottesville.

Nope. Trump is America's elected president. Whether you like it or not.

He's America's leader. PP isn't. Roe v Wade isn't. FSM isn't.

Supporting America's president is not trolling.

PP, you do know that Roe v. Wade was a court case, right?

I have better things to do than engage a dolt.

Is this the PP who doesn't know what roe v. Wade is?

I hope they were planning on attending on Liberty U or some other like minded school because that picture is going to haunt them wherever they end up applying. There's no such thing as temporary record online.

Oh yes, let's rejoice in the oppression and offense of others because - YAY! - they are girls. How incredibly offensive to women and girls, not to mention Howard students who had to put up with that sh*t. As if this is the bar women should strive for. FFS.

You misunderstand. Not yay, it's great when girls are offensive. Rather yay, girls feel free to be just as offensive as boys. Something to strive for? No. But certainly counter to the anti-feminists who claim to put women on a pedestal, and also counter to the constant social pressure on women and girls to be nice.

Well, if there's any doubt that racism and bigotry exist against African Americans in the US, these girls and this thread should put that to rest.

Bob Corker, Republican of Tennessee, said he is unfit.

In private Bob McConnell Republican of Kentucky, questions if he can save his presidency.

He is going down in flames, you need to face that. He got elected by a fluke, people voted for him in protest not expecting him to win. He will be remembered as our worst President, and he may well be responsible for a significant permanent reduction in the powers of the President (including the pseudo monarchical respect)

Plus, the girl in the red hat has a ton of cellulite on her legs and she hasn't even graduated h.s. She will be very fat very soon.

You are dolt if you think its less bad to intimidate someone for expressing a (mainstream) opinion, than it is for supporting President Trump.

Yes, the argument seems to be that in America, everybody has the right to engage in non-violent offensive speech or conduct (which is true!) without anybody else objecting to it (which is not true).

Maybe tone deaf but I don't think they were there to "start sh!t"- maybe they are from a place out of the area w lots of trump fans and don't understand the intolerance of D.C. Locals for alternative viewpoints. They are kids.

why would they have ended up at Howard U of all places for lunch? Its not on the way anywhere, and it does not get a lot of tourists.

BTW, intolerance? They were not beaten up or anything. They got a hat stolen, and some tough words. From a couple of individuals.

So, as a woman, I can visit Liberty University wearing shorts like these girls and a Church of Satan t-shirt and no one will give me a hard time?
