In yet another bitter reminder that racism is alive and well on college
campuses in the South, white students at Texas A&M University reportedly
taunted and harassed a group of black high school juniors who were
touring the campus in College Station on Tuesday.

The incident began when a white woman approached two of the visitors
from Uplift Hampton Preparatory in Dallas — a charter school that helps
economically disadvantaged students get into college — and asked what
they thought of her Confederate flag earrings, according to an account
from Democratic state Sen. Royce West, whose district includes the high
school.

Then, white male and female students from Texas A&M began taunting the
group of 60 visitors from Uplift Preparatory, telling them to "go back
where you came from" and "using the most well-known racial slur that's
directed toward African Americans," West said.

Texas A&M officials who were escorting the visitors witnessed the
incident and called campus police. An officer who responded initially
said the A&M students were merely exercising their First Amendment
rights, but police eventually took a report.

In its 2016 college rankings, The Princeton Review ranked Texas A&M
University fourth in the nation for "Most Conservative Students," 14th
for "Most Religious Students," and 13th for "LGBTQ-Unfriendly."

The Texas A&M student body is just 3 percent black, the lowest
percentage among 15 public and private universities in the state,
according to the National Center for Education statistics.

Naturally, you left this out of your quote:

"In a letter to the Texas A&M community, school President Michael Young said he was
"outraged and tremendously disappointed" by the incident, adding that it will be
investigated "to the fullest extent possible and appropriate action will be taken."
Young also said Texas A&M administrators and students later met with the visitors
from Uplift Prep to assure them they are welcomed and respected by "the vast
majority" of people at the university.

"While the actions of a few certainly do not represent our institution as a whole, it
is the responsibility of all of us to stop any incidents that could be considered
hateful or biased — based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability
or any other factor," Young wrote.

To me, that's what lying is all about!
