Caught writing racial slurs

             This story is very sad for everyone wanting harmonious racial

    relations. It is reported in this mornings Providence Journal (B1 ,Oct.8 )

    that a 16 year old Afro- American was caught " black-handed " writing

    racial slurs on  her own locker at North Attleboro High. She is a member

    of the Student Coalition Against Racism there . The school is at least

    90 percent white.

         I congratulate the clever teacher who discovered the shocking TRUTH.

        This relatively petty scandal tells us more about " normal " adolescent

    psychology than about RACE RELATIONS TODAY .

           Kids crave attention. And they will often find mischievous ways

    to get it.

         I learned - a long time ago - that there were no lack of frauds on

    the political Left. But it is never too late for kids to " grow up ".

        There is indeed a lot of injustice in the world. The great weapon

    against it is the TRUTH.

           My sympathy for the SCAR organization - a good cause - that was

    embarrassed by this  shameful incident.
