If proper consequences are not met for both staff & students, I will not hesitate to escalate this to national news. There is no level of tolerance that is acceptable in the face of intolerance.

If you don’t hold racist students accountable, you’re creating a culture of racism. Asian students deserve to feel welcome and accepted by their classmates. My heart breaks for anyone who feels targeted by this incident.

I graduated from Lower Moreland in the 80s. During the entire time in that district from 2nd grade to HS I was subjected to racist and sexist bullying and name calling. So sad to realize that the district has not progressed much in the over 30 years since.

One of the kids from the hate post, the worst offender in my opinion, his parent is on the school board. I would ask he address this with his child and apologize. He is a public figure. His son has very strong opinions about how he would spear my children. I think I need to hear from him.

LM needs to hold at least yearly mandatory anti-racism seminars across all the schools, from pine road to LMHS. It’s never to young to teach anti-racism. Unfortunately we can’t depend on some of these parents to do the work so it must be up to the schools to do it. This is unacceptable and there are no excuses.

As an alumni I am disgusted. If no action is taken, I will remove myself from the community and not support any future LOMO events. I will spread the word of your bigotry if no action is taken.

Stop racism

Just for perspective, I see a lot of public attacks of these teenagers for one horrible and unacceptable text conversation from their past without any knowledge if this was one terrible and stupid mistake of mimicking toxic words, offensive "humor", and discriminatory culture that is pervasive in the media these teens are sadly immersed in, or is this a pattern for these individual teens. How are we better as adults by jumping to assumptions. I do not honestly know if every text message between friends in the teens I raise has lived up to their values. I monitor social media and all behavior the best I can to prevent any mistakes. We hope their good behavior in school and community is the same in everything. we know their hearts as good kids but we can't see and hear and know everything. I do know from years of working with teens, they say and do stupid things that they do not mean or understand and make stupid mistakes because they see ignorance and bad behavior around them, but the ones with good values never repeat these mistakes when they are made aware-- that is all about growing up and learning accountability. Now, I do not know these kids or their families in this exchange of unacceptable and horrible comments, if they are bullies or open advocates for racist sentiments-- absolutely they need strong discipline measures, BUT if this is a terrible teen mistake from a year ago that has been corrected, is it our place to target kids or should we focus on prevention, culture correction, and improved communication within the school and community. If this a continued issue in this school like these comments are saying, hold the school accountable for immediate change. I just wonder what we teach our children with public shaming of individuals vs condemning this past incident and the culture and teaching accountability and tolerance.
