’Tis
the
season
to
arrest
violent
racists!
Shawnee
Mission
East
High
School
was
the
subject
of
a
BOSSIP
post
on
Wednesday
that
detailed
the
events
that
led
to
a
white
male
student
punching
a
Black
female
student
in
the
face
and
breaking
her
nose
after
calling
her
the
n-word.
Students
were
outraged
that
the
school
thought
it
appropriate
to
suspend
both
students
despite
the
fact
that
one
was
clearly
the
the
victim
of
a
hate
crime.
Well,
Santa
hasn’t
slid
down
the
chimney
yet
but
that
doesn’t
mean
that
Christmas
hasn’t
come
early.
According
to
Fox4KC,
the
white
boy
has
been
arrested
and
charged
with
felony
aggravated
assault
in
Johnson
County
Court.
A
student-led
protest
on
behalf
of
the
Black
student
is
planned
for
Thursday.
A
DailyMail
article
reports
that
100
students
holding
signs
walked
out
of
class
this
past
Monday.
These
kids
are
not
playing
and
we
love
to
see
it!
A
student
named
Charlize
Littlejohn
describes
the
issues
with
race
at
Shawnee
Mission
as
“ongoing”
according
to
the
Kansas
City
Defender:
“This
was
a
serious
attack…
a
textbook
hate
crime,”
she
stated,
emphasizing
the
need
for
a
decisive
response
from
the
school’s
administration.
She
went
on
to
say
that
“There
were
so
many
warning
signs.
It’s
been
going
on
for
so
long.
Most
of
the
people
involved
are
seniors
or
upperclassmen.
Its
been
going
on
for
so
long.
We’ve
reported
it
and
talked
about
it
but
nothing
has
happened.”
We
hope
this
kid
is
punished
to
the
fullest
extent
of
the
law
despite
being
charged
as
a
juvenile.
