In a shocking, horrifying incident at Shawnee Mission East High School, a Black student was hospitalized after being attacked by a white male student. Despite being the victim, she faces suspension in a case highlighting systemic racism and administrative negligence.
I noticed this too. She should have stepped away at that moment, but instead responded with force. That being said, she’s a teenager and defending herself from someone much larger. This is 100% on the male, even if she made the wrong choice in how to deescalate. We can’t expect teenagers to not defend themselves, we can expect them to not be racist assholes.
