Fascinating story on several levels. One is that the specter of some nebulous link to “CRT” is galvanizing opposition to ideas that parents either wouldn’t object to otherwise, or wouldn’t want to admit to objecting to.

Another is that nobody seems to question whether or when it’s the role of the school to address despicable behavior by students outside of school—that part seems to be taken for granted.
The article notes that a vile Snapchat group in which students conducted a mock slave auction prompted "investigations from Traverse City Area Public Schools and the Grand Traverse County prosecutor’s office” culminating in a recommendation the students receive counseling.
And much as it sounds like they could use it, I’m not sure why students being racist on Snapchat is a matter for either the schools or prosecutors, as opposed to parents.
