EXCLUSIVE: Students wore “White Lives Matter” shirts. Their school won’t talk about it. bit.ly/3y6OgjS
Students from a tiny high school in rural Pennsylvania wore “White Lives Matter” shirts to their last day of classes, according to a Snapchat shared with VICE News, as well as interviews with community members. bit.ly/3y6OgjS
“They were sent home from school. It was the LAST DAY. There were NO other repercussions. They even went to prom the very next night,” one source told VICE News in an email. bit.ly/3y6OgjS
In the photo, five Montgomery Area High School students are lined up in front of a background of trucks while wearing white T-shirts with “White Lives Matter” scrawled across the front in black lettering that appears to be handwritten. bit.ly/3y6OgjS
“One of the most disrespectful things I’ve ever seen happen in Montgomery,” reads the caption of the Snapchat, which was posted by a student. “Only reason you did this was to piss people off and look like a complete racist, not funny at all.” bit.ly/3y6OgjS
No one responded after repeated attempts to contact the school’s principal, the district’s superintendent, and members of the local school board. VICE News was also unable to reach any of the students in the photo. bit.ly/3y6OgjS

He wants a check from the government. And he wants it to come with an apology for slavery, Jim Crow, and hundreds of years of racism. It’s due. trib.al/VEeMeHp
“Reparations had two components: The first was atonement, and the other was monetary,” Johnson says. “With no doubt whatsoever, it was supposed to come from the government representing the people of the country. It was reimbursement... for the harm.” trib.al/VEeMeHp

During a traffic stop, an Arkansas sheriff’s deputy shot and killed 17-year-old Hunter Brittain.

“Before he could get there, he was shot in the neck,” Hunter’s uncle, Jesse Brittain, told VICE News. “We can’t begin to understand why he would take a shot at that boy.” trib.al/KethZb6
