From the article: Already three students have been charged with unlawful acts at school. Two teens were charged for emailing a racist photo out to classmates. Another was charged for wearing a white KKK-like hood to a school pep rally. Police say if they find offenses more serious than misdemeanors they will pass it on to the district attorney for possible felony charges.

White-concentrated Utah...where 33 years ago the color of your skin determined if you could be a priest in the Mormon church or get married in the Mormon temple.

There a still golf courses around today that use skin color or religion as a criteria for membership. What’s your point? And I don’t believe the Catholic Church has ever has a Negro Pope. Are they racists, too?

While I’m not a racists I’m not sure what criminal law these kids broke. Sending a racists photo to classmates and wearing a white hood to a rally.

How are those criminal offenses? Maybe they violoate school policy and they should be expelled or suspended, but criminal charges?

Ever hear of the 1st Amendment?

Why, did it expose too much?

Good Lord at this rate possession of "white" bed sheets will be a crime soon.

One incident happened in March...
...at a "Spirit Bowl" in the school gym. The junior class was supposed to wear white. One junior came in a white hood that covered his face. Witnesses said he also went around giving a stiff-armed salute mimicking how the Nazis saluted Adolf Hitler. He did all of this right in front of fellow junior, Larz Cosby, who identifies himself as "mixed race." Cosby recalled, "So everyone is like, 'Oh Larz, look at him, What are you going to do? You know, they're looking at me like I'm going to do something. And I say, 'Really,' and I take his hood off. I grab it and throw it behind me. And I said, 'Come on dude." He said his first instinct was to throw a punch. "Honestly, that's what I wanted to do. But I didn't, because I thought what would my dad do, what would he say."

Sounds to me like this kid was deliberately trying to provoke a fight.

Actually shouldn’t the Mormons determine who they want as priests or in their temples ?
