"What’s pathetic is that there is a very high likelihood that this racist threat was made by a person of color with an agenda."

You mean like the homo-looking Obama clone in the picture at the link?

"We really understand the students pain, their anguish and their fear..."

Seriously?

Well, just give them all a lid of grass, replace all the "D's" with "A's", give them the next two weeks off from class...and all will be well.

"...doing everything we can...to figure out what happened,” Coplan said.

Oh, gimme a break!

Some silly shit put a bad word on a computer!

What would you do if they'd left a flaming bag of dog poop on your doorstep and rang the door bell?

“Our students are hurting tremendously. They're weeping. They're crying.”

What a bunch of panty-waisted, spoiled little pussies.

You're supposed to be teaching them the basics of life's function.

You have failed.

Likely you nailed it.There have been many similar examples that fomented unrest between whites and blacks. Al Sharpton's promotion of the Tawana Brawley fraud comes to mind.

Hyper-politicized hysteria.

Wouldn’t it be a better use of their youthful energies if they were at the Homecoming Rally?

What a bunch of panty-wastes! Of course, most of them did it just to get out of class; but even when I was that young, I wasn’t dumb enough to walk out over something so stupid as this.

What is interesting is all of the outrage and the walkout over a message left on a computer screen. Few years back on of the leaders of the Berkeley High Black Student Union was gunned down by a street thug and no protest resulted.

Think of it as a social phenomenon. The seed was someone, or some group, noticing something on a computer screen. How does it “catch fire” and get the whole student body going?

I submit it works about the same as when someone yells “fight” and the crowd comes running.

Even more:
[Principal] Pasarow said school officials are concerned about possible retaliation against the student, and will not release any details that could be used for public identification, such as age, gender or race."

Pasarow said earlier in the day that he plans to hold an all-school assembly at Berkeley High on Dec. 9 that will focus on the contributions of the African-American community.

He said, though he is generally a proponent of restorative justice practices, "because of the terroristic nature of what happened, I'm not sure restorative justice is effective."

Beavis and Butthead could not have imagined this scenario. For more details, see Berkeley High student linked to racist 'screen hack'

Stand by for a chorus of “I only did it to raise everyone’s consciousness about the serious issue of racism in America” and the perp will become the darling of the moment in Berkeley.

Translation: The culprit was definitely NOT white.
