White privilege for a 1000, Alex!

High school administrators suspended after senior prank runs afowl

SUNBURY, Pa. -- A high school principal, vice principal, and senior advisor are all suspended from a district in Northumberland County because of a high school prank gone wrong.

Seniors at Shikellamy High School unleashed a dozen chickens inside the school, and it didn't turn out well.


Students Newswatch 16 spoke to have mixed emotions about the prank. On one hand, it was supposed to be funny. On the other, it did cause quite the mess.

“As a general rule, I think people are taking it too seriously, but I could see why people would be upset about the whole classroom destruction and the teacher, I could understand why he would be upset,” Snyder added.

Were black students involved? We’re they punished worse than white students? I saw no information regarding race in the story.

I see all the students involved are having to clean it up, so really not getting your point.

Of white priveledge applies to the story. Is there more info out there? I looked up the school and saw no sign of racial incidents.

The prank went bad. Adults and kids were punished. Careers damaged.

The article didn't mention race.


Me? I'll take "Projection for 1000"

The OP article in the link doesn't mention color or race anywhere.
Not "white", not "privilege."

of the people involved except that the one kid they interviewed was white.

Seems that everyone involved had the same level of consequences as their peers.

Where are you getting this "white privilege" stuff from?

Do you have some information that was not in the news story? If so, please share it with us.

Not sure how that is in any way funny.

People who want to play stupid pranks should leave innocent animals out of their idiotic schemes.

The person that posted the OP is not going to answer anything asked in this thread.

They never had any intention at all of posting in this thread again.

Pretty much everyone that is at least halfway intelligent can see that. Hell...I can even see that.

Why aren't people that do this sort of thing sent packing?
