CBS News Philadelphia ^ | 05/11/2018 | staff

The boy’s lacrosse season has been canceled at Haddonfield Memorial High School following an alleged racial slur incident, school officials announced on Friday.

The school says an investigation began after a Haddonfield student allegedly used a racial slur directed toward a female athlete visiting the school. --SNIP-- Diversity, sensitivity, and empathy training will be conducted for all students, staff, coaches and sports teams, the school added.

One rude knuckled head launched a state investigation, a local school district investigation, an NAACP investigation and sensitivity training for hundreds.
Not surprising since Haddonfield likes to consider itself an elite "hate does not live here" type of community.

There’s lots of money to be made in the grievance industry.

WTF is SO GOOD about diversity!?!?!

Who the #### ever said it was good?!?!!

Maybe in your choice of booze. Or women.

But WTF good does it do in a country?!?!!?

WHEN has non conforming diversity in cultures EVER worked??!!?

There MUST BE A counter lawsuit for shutting down the team.

I wish I could use EVERY word I was thinking of right now but I won’t taint Jim’s board with my lack of “empathy and respect for cultural diversity”.

But those of you who know me could read my mind. And folks in the neighborhood, a NON DIVERSIFIED Americans of Italian descent neighborhood, can HEAR ME out the window!

Call in the diversity SWAT team after some idiot being an idiot.

This is exactly how kids get indoctrinated into the realm of hyper sensitivity.

This is all this is about.

My schools would have been closed before they opened.

We weren’t sissies back then.

The feminization of America has to stop. This is out of control.

The entire season is cancelled because of one "alleged" racial slur incident?

What would they do if there were "actually" a racial slur incident?

What happens to all the kids not involved in this "alleged" incident? They get the shaft too?

Are there no real adults in the school systems anymore who can make decisions without being triggered by some allegation from one person?

This school is obviously run by pearl-clutching, bed-wetting liberals.

They make a bad situation worse by overreacting and jumping the shark.

Wonder if the season would have been cancelled had it been a football or basketball player that made the alleged comment.

What if he uttered, “MOVE, UGLY”?

Would they turn this into a federal case where all the team is punished, courts are called in and everyone in school is forced into indoctrination about how bad whites are.

Because personal insults are OK, but God forbid one uses a group insult (except for whites, or Christians, or heterosexuals).

Why did the white kid have to act this way? As we all know, no black student anywhere has ever uttered a racial slur towards a white student.

Liberals celebrate diversity as if it were some wonderful, 100% positive thing. They are wrong, as history has shown time and again (India before the partition, the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, etc., etc.).

But neither is diversity a 100% bad thing. It is instead simply a reality of life, a reality that must be minimized in a gentle way (the melting pot idea).

As an example, consider a US neighborhood made up of 10 different ethnic groups. Conservatives would suggest that those groups learn English as soon as possible.

Liberals would demand (not just suggest, but demand) that all signs in the neighborhood be printed in 10 different languages.

And that’s exactly what tears nations apart.

Great post.

I dont speak Italian nearly as well as I should because my parents said “we’re in America now. We speak English”

So I picked up what I did from my surviving grandparents.

Do I think it’s awful to teach a second language in the house? No.

AS LONG as the one you speak outside and FLUENTLY is ENGLISH!

Another massive overreaction, just like the Starbuck's incident. In a sane world, the person guilty of the slur would be reprimanded or suspended for a few days, maybe even thrown off the tam, and life would go on. They wouldn't punish the whole team for the actions of one person.

If a black kid on the football team slapped his girlfriend, would they cancel the whole football season and demand that all students attend anger-management seminars?
