Remind me why I would want to go to an integrated school? Are you assuming this school is mostly white, latino, asian, black? Integrated should not mean courtesy, manners, common sense are left at the door. Using a student newspaper to point out the lack thereof isn't the problem, it is what the behavior was compared to that is the problem. Lack of tact is missing to get across the point that disrespectful, rude, childish, illmannered behaviour does not belong in a restaurant, or any place for that matter.

That is true, but the drive-by media accept that referring to blacks as monkeys is hate speech. I remember when my Irish grandmother would call me her 'little monkey' after WWII -- didn't seem too racist, then, but times change.
