1. Y'know, I honestly don't see what this has to do with education.

I do find the repeated use of the term "race card" offensive and with you'd use something else. But this whole story seems really elaborate and I don't know what it has to do with schools or learning, except you don't like what this kid did.

White students get away with outrageous shit. Believe me. They use their race to their advantage constantly. To see a DUer harping on one kid who happened to be black who doesn't get to tell his side of the story here really bothers me.
