The senior editors of the school newspaper proclaim on the one had "at the end of the day Uni still provides an extraordinarily tolerant atmosphere with regard to the individuality of its students and faculty" and on the other unilaterally decide for everyone that young people of color may not assert their individuality! Not on their watch. Clearly, these particular recipients of white privilege are uncomfortable having been put in a position during their senior year of high school to reflect on their unearned advantages, undeserved benefits, and even mediocrity. Unfortunately, as this defensive and sanctimonious editorial suggests, Uni High School has failed all of its students. To those of you who are on the receiving end of this assault by your school newspaper, keep your heads high. You are smart. You are important. You are beautiful human beings!
