Remember when that team of "white" kids won the championship in CA and tossed tortilla shells at the poor Latino kids?
Well as it turns out that was a lie. The entire thing was orchestrated by a 40 year old man named Luke Serna. And then the school board went full potato on it without ever talking with the kids or even seeing the actual videos. And it wasnt the team it was just two JV players that Serna was able to convince to through tortillas.
From the article: Programs like the Anti-Defamation League’s (ADL) No Place for Hate had been quick to brand the teenagers on the team as racist but it was a 40-year-old man named Luke Serna that had brought the tortillas. He has been described by the townspeople as a Coronado alum who had not been to a game all year, a latino, a president of a local union and a political activist with ties to the island’s left-wing groups that advocate for critical race theory (CRT). It was this man who told the players, cheerleaders and fans to throw the tortillas in the air in celebration if Coronado won.
Here is a picture of the all white team
And of course the school board breaks their own rule about public comment and condemns the kids without ever even hearing their side.
From the article: When I met Stacy Keszei, a Coronado school board member, she revealed how the board called an illegal meeting (no public notice, etc.) in the early hours of Father’s Day, less than 12 hours after the basketball game. The board only had a short video of a woman yelling, "Racist! Racist!" But that video was enough to make the board fear the charge of racism heading their way. They abandoned due process and signed the "racism, classism, and colorism" statement — effectively redirecting the charge of racism away from them and onto innocent teenage boys. These boys, who had just won their town a championship, were also called "perpetrators."
