The most expensive prep schoolin the country, the Lawrenceville School, spent much of its spring semester mired in racial tensions as its first black student-body president was forced to step down for “mocking” white male students on Instagram.
In the photo that Maya Peterson posted of herself to Instagram in March when she was a senior, she poses as a typical “Lawrenceville boi” — wearing a Yale sweatshirt and duck boots, holding a hockey stick. It's hashtagged #romney2016, #confederate, and #peakedinhighschool.However, we can't have a double standard just because the "mocker" is a black girl and the "mockees" are white boys, can we? In our society today she had to go, it was the right decision.
Are you lefties proud of the society you've created?
I can see a silver lining, though. If this happens enough, pretty soon it'll go away for everyone and we'll have the colorblind society that Dr. King and Justice Marshall fought so hard for.
