My apologies for assuming you were angry. It's difficult to guess the tone of a post, so me (and I bet many others as well), tend to just assume that when a post has giant paragraphs that it leans on the side of emotional. Again, my apologies for making that assumption.
I absolutely agree that these kids should be expelled from the school. If you read an earlier post in this thread you will see that I even am open to the idea of trying these racists as adults.
I was more just emphasizing the idea that when dealing with racists (which again, I agree that it shouldn't be just your job to do, but the job of everyone who isn't a bigot), it works best to separate people who do or say hateful things into 2 distinctive categories:
1) The ignorant and misinformed (people who have incorrect views but are open to learning new information that contradicts their assumptions): these are people that CAN be educated. Some will take longer than others, but they can be turned into good people.
2) The outright bigoted (people so entrenched in their bigotry that they reject any and all information that contradicts their assumptions): these people will never stop being bigots and the best you can hope for is that they get shamed and humiliated to the point that they go into hiding, both because we won't have to deal with them as much and because it makes them less influential on that first category.
