<p>Here’s another, less biased article about it:</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.newsadvance.com/news/local/sweet-briar-student-confesses-to-posting-racial-labels-apologizes-for/article_7b54b998-32f2-11e4-9384-001a4bcf6878.html”>http://www.newsadvance.com/news/local/sweet-briar-student-confesses-to-posting-racial-labels-apologizes-for/article_7b54b998-32f2-11e4-9384-001a4bcf6878.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Not to mention that the only students it would hurt would be students of color, who are already quite aware that “the past is a part of us” and that “words can still have an extreme impact.”</p>
