Activist Groups Condemn Alleged Racist & Antisemitic Bishop Miege Student Snapchats

Of course, hate and threats deserves scrutiny . . . 

Moreover and info that parents should probably also consider . . .

A life lesson . . . 

Social media interaction by students is now under scrutiny and policed by a cadre of adults who are not only affiliated with law enforcement but also have their own political agenda.

In fairness . . . In a long, gone era, TKC attended this institution and we know EXACTLY how nasty Catholic schools can get when, pardon the pun, left to their own devices. 

 Nevertheless . . .

Here's tonight's teachable moment and one of many reasons that we think social media culture is now trending downward . . .

A joint statement signed by Gavriela Geller, Executive Director, Jewish Community Relations Board/American Jewish Committee and Bert Berkley Chair for Community Relations and Gwendolyn Grant, President and CEO, Urban League of Greater Kansas City declared . . .

"We are saddened to learn of several highly disturbing racist and antisemitic messages and threats made by students at Bishop Miege High School."

"The fact that such hate exists in our society is a sad reality we all must face together,'' according to the statement from the two groups "And to see such acts of hate, even amounting to threats, coming from our youth, is even more deeply troubling. Youth, after all, are our future. From our work with high school students, we know that these messages are not indicative of the majority of their generation—who are brilliant, compassionate, and educated leaders. Still, this pattern of incidents is disturbing, and should compel us all to action."
