Remember that Civil Rights case involving a local student at Olive Branch Middle School? New information is coming to light. It turns out that the offending party was indeed wearing a Klan outfit… briefly, as one part of a book report on an anti-racism/pro-equality book. The Klan getup was meant to demonstrate what some of the people in the book looked like. The kid may not have used the very finest judgment, but it sure seems now like it’s much ado about nothing. (A fuller report will come later, courtesy of a certain “Deep Throat”, who courageously went in where i dared not to uncover more details.)
Two questions spring to mind:
- Why the bother, then? Did something else happen? Or is there some other motive for pursuing this case?
- Why is the local media not reporting on this particular information?
We’ll have to wait and see what the answers to these questions may turn out to be….
