They used to pull this crap just at colleges. Fake a hate crime, everybody freaks out like it’s real, administration treats it like it’s real and uses it as a teaching moment (aka an excuse to indoctrinate students), etc. Now it’s expanded to high schools. Sigh.
“...administration treats it like it’s real ...”
Nothing in the multiverse is less productive and has lower IQ than school (high school or college) ‘administrations’.
