A Middle School Student On A Trip To DC Spat On A Black Person At The African American History Museum
* The principal of the Connecticut middle school said she did not believe the incident was racially motivated *
A white student on a middle school trip to Washington, DC, spat on a black patron at the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture on Friday, prompting his class to be ejected from the museum.
The unnamed male student at Shelton Intermediate School in Connecticut spat off a balcony and hit the person below, according to principal Dina Marks, who was accompanying the students.
"It was an act of stupidity, disinterest, & immaturity, completely inappropriate, " she tweeted Saturday, "but I believe, not racially motivated against that person."
On Friday night, Marks wrote only that the students had returned to their hotel rooms after "an unfortunate incident."

Clouet was not sure if the incident was motivated by racism or horseplay, but added that "too often incidents are covered over by claiming it's only a joke."

Was this posted to just get us all mad and indignant and curse our way through a Sunday? :)
are we gonna call the place? the local congressman?
if not, to what end it is posted for?
Nine out of ten times this “racial” stuff never happens as reported.
If the races were reversed, heck if a black student punched a white person, would we even hear about ?
Stop the presses!!!
“spat off a balcony and hit the person below”
Bad, but it doesn’t seem that he deliberately spit at the black person, more like he just spit off the balcony, still not good, and it happened to hit a person below, who happened to be black. The kid still needs to be thought manners that you don’t go around spitting anywhere.
Yeah, this is national news. No middle-school boy ever spat from a high place before.
No, that'll happen when the football threads come up later. 8~)
For the record, this was NOT FUNNY! OK? (Yes, I laughed)
I grew up in Connecticut, and when I went to see “Jaws” as part of a birthday party in nearby Hamden (age 12) I was so bored I was one of the brats throwing Jujubes towards the front. I might have hit a black person. I won’t know until final judgment.
this is like when Michael Scott ( the Office) dropped a watermelon, and it hit Stanley’s ( a black employee) car.
He was worried that was a hate crime, too.
Just a kid spitting off a balcony.
Done all the time by young, immature kids. . .I’ve done this many times, and sometimes wind currents shifted the spit.
I was never racially motivated and always tried to avoid spitting on others (didn’t want to get my butt beat by the guy I accidentally hit, or my butt beat by my dad).
EVERYTHING is racist these days.
Uh, you wrote ‘watermexxx’. Expect a summons any time now.
bring it, lol.
“too often incidents are covered over by claiming it’s only a joke.”
NO, TOO OFTEN demographic issues are “covered over” by claiming it’s racist!
Middle school boy on field trip to DC, spits off balcony....
Hits Black person in crowd below
Site Soon to be memorialized as marker of more hugh series American racism
Oh, sure. Another false flag. Did they think we’d never figure them out?
Oh good lord - the typical 7th grade school dork, who happened to be white, spat off the balcony and hit another kid, who happened to be black and everybody is losing their minds over the racial insensitivity.
And the museum had the audacity to expel the entire class?!
BS.
