NEWBERG, Ore. Hours before the Newberg school board is set to discuss a controversial ban on the display of "controversial political symbols" in schools, parents at Newberg High School found out some of their kids were either participating in -- or targeted by -- a social media group chat called "Slave Trade," which joked about how much participants would pay for their Black classmates in a slave auction.
In an email to KGW News, the principal of Newberg High School, Tami Erion, said that Newberg High students took part in a Snapchat group chat, and used photos of students, along with racist and homophobic slurs. She said the chat originated in Michigan in late 2020, but the school's administration learned about it on Friday. She sent a letter to the school community about it on Tuesday.

This is a school that found time to ban BLM and pride paraphernalia

Oregon originally was intended to be a "whites only " territory. I didn't know this til a few years ago actually. But when I did it really disturbed me. It turns out that large areas of Washington and Oregon are conservative, but nobody ever talks about. People just think about Portland and Seattle

By allowing racism to rise to the surface again were making it less taboo for the youth. Thanks Trumpers. Doing a great job ruining America.

Yeah, I believe I read somewhere that Oregon is actually a hotspot for White supremacist activity.

They need to punish them with expulsion and check to see if the parents are promoting this too.

The problem with issues like these is that they're often obfuscated as youthful indiscretions.

Our refusal to address racism within our youth leads to things like Charlottesville and 1/6

There are white supremacist compounds in the eastern parts of Washington state & Oregon.

And if you go to the northernmost parts of Northern California it starts to get Southery. Bible camps right outside of towns, trailer parks, and on the most rarest occasions you may catch a glimpse of a confederate symbol. Oh and meth, lots of it. Also those billboard signs with Christian propaganda.

Based on the topic title I assumed this was a poorly thought out but well meaning class project.

Instead, it's shocking levels of racism from kids who I'm sure would swear up and down that they're not racist after bidding on their classmates.

It's because the EC does a horrible job of representing the population

Grew up in Rogue Valley, it was interesting. Five miles one direction was a town with a bunch of rich old conservative people. Ten miles a different direction was a hyper liberal college town.

It's a really politically diverse state.
