The Baraboo School District says the photo wasn’t taken on school property or at a school-sponsored event.

Huh, interesting.

Thanks. You too.

Of course it’s not illegal to be racist, it’s just ignorant and stupid, neither of which themselves is illegal. If it were we wouldn’t have a government.

Excellent point.

Schools have a responsibility to the safety of their students in particularly bullying. So something like this can be investigated but likely will go nowhere.

The school is investigating, not the police.

Still not the police.

I said Game Changer. Durn!

This is an interesting claim. Where are you getting that the school has “no jurdiction” to look into this matter?

The school district the cops and governor elect sound like a bunch of crybabies

And you believe that prohibits the school from looking into the matter, why? And what makes you believe their investigation is limited only to that photo, and only to that time and that place?

43

It’s not the school’s matter to look into.
It’s all that was in the article.

repeating your unsupported statement is not helping you.
