I'm not an African American, so I won't claim to understand how racism feels. But, it also seems that too often we have a solution in search of a problem. Wasn't there, and don't know the kids or the school. Maybe this was some sort of clever racist rouse. I went to Warren Central on the east side of Indy. Our moniker was a warrior. If students dressed up like actual warriors would they now have to apologize to all Native Americans? My feeling is the majority of these issues surround adults putting in their two cents were it doesn’t belong. Sometimes kids are just that kids. And then there’s this guy……
