Was this an isolated incident?

hearing students in the “Overheard at UChicago group” talk about how when a public area high school brought kids to tour one day, a black undergrad was told to get back in formation and accused of lying when he said he went to school at Chicago makes you feel icky inside and you wouldn’t want it to happen to you, but it’s not some kind of physical hate crime, or a comment likely to lead to one, you know?</p>

<p>dynamicsemantics, this is a terrible misrepresentation of what actually occurred on the Overheard FB discussion. The original post was by an African American first year student who was confronted by a high school teacher leading a group of visiting area high school students. The high school teacher, for whatever reason, assumed the UChicago student was a part of the high school tour group. Again, the teacher had absolutely no connection to the university and the FB group was overwhelmingly supportive of the UChicago student, although it did veer off into a weird exchange over the need to dress “better”.</p>
