Just wanted to add my voice of shock and condemnation for what this photo depicts.
When I saw it yesterday, I was in total disbelief that this kind of racism was tolerated somehow.
These are young men at a Catholic school, no less. But there it is just as clear as day.
And, I have witnessed what my own community has gone through when a picture of some boys
who are in the Junior class at Baraboo High School decided to give the Nazi salute as a "joke" in a picture being
taken as part of their prom celebration. It ended up going viral after it was posted. And caused much pain to
an entire city.
And those boys and some of their classmates will be going to a Holocaust Museum as part of their "education".
I wonder what kind of retribution these boys will have to face.
All I can say now is, -and it being MLK day - I have deep admiration for the young black athlete who seemed to
endure everything these boys could throw at him with dignity and grace. My heart goes out to him.
