gotta love this part:

Quote:
In an interview with The Jersey Journal at the time the texts were sent, the boy’s father said his son was “extremely nervous and feels threatened” and did not want to be interviewed.

"He is the type of boy who does not want any kind of trouble," the father said. "It's so sad. He doesn't want the image of the school to be tainted."
say what?

he doesn't want trouble and he doesn't want the school's image to be tainted, so he sends fake 'racist' texts to himself to make the school look good?

I read that this morning.

Pretty lame of him.
Why though is the real question.
What did he hope to gain..sympathy and a win to student council ?

He should have been charged with something though because he was trying to incite something with those racist texts to himself.

My thoughts exactly.

If here were my kid, I'd only have one question: "What the hell did you think you were trying to accomplish by doing this?"

This is weird......even for NJ.

agreed. after causing all that tooth-gnashing he gets off without even a reprimand?

it's odd how often people are so desperate to find 'racism' that they have to invent it where it doesn't exist.

His mentors must be Al Sharpton and the tramp that accused the Duke lacrosse players.
