This video seems to be creating quite a stir in Virginia
An animated film designed as a lesson in “racial discourse” for students at a Virginia high school has led to backlash from community members who’ve taken issue with not-so subtle references to so-called white privilege throughout the video.
“They are sitting there watching a video that is dividing them up from a racial standpoint. It's a White guilt kind of video,” Don Blake, whose granddaughter attended the assembly where the video was shown, told told WWBT. “I think somebody should be held accountable for this.”
Officials at Glen Allen High School in Henrico said in a statement that the video, “The Unequal Opportunity Race,” was a presentation involving “American history and racial discourse.”

When I went to college it was about getting an education, drinking beer and chasing girls.
Long before college I was taught that the First Amendment protected speech that I didn't like, not the speech I did like.

well, it's finally come to Maine
Several Bowdoin College students have been punished by the school administration after a tequila-themed birthday party where “several students wore sombreros,” according to the Bowdoin Orient, the college’s student newspaper.
It’s the college’s third such controversy after a “Cracksgiving” party in November 2014 and a “gangster-themed” party last October.
The nature of the punishments wasn’t made public, according to the Orient. Two members of student government who were present at the Feb. 20 party are facing impeachment.
The school’s student government has condemned the party, as well as subsequent “anonymous attacks that took place on social media,” according to a Feb. 24 release (PDF).
“The Assembly, representing the entire student body of Bowdoin, stands by all students who were injured and affected by the incident,” the statement reads. The social media attacks echo the aftermath of the “gangster” party last year, after which several students apparently made offensive comments anonymously using the app Yik Yak.
The school’s reaction to the incident has been the subject of criticism from several columnists and blogs. The Washington Post’s Catherine Rampell criticized the school for taking issue with the party, which took place on the same night as the school-sanctioned “Cold War party.”
“Students arrived dressed in fur hats and coats to represent Soviet culture,”Rampell wrote. “One referred to herself as ‘Stalin,’ making light of a particularly painful era in Slavic history.”
