Apparently one incident means we have to cancel everything now.

It's almost like they're teaching the kids that actions have consequences, and that they can end up paying the price for the actions of their peers.

Why do the 99.99% of kids who didn't partake in this have to suffer the consequences?

Not very good at math are you?

Can you come up with an exact percentage?

Because learning their lesson by now by getting homecoming canceled is preferable to learning it later from bombs, artillery and head-chopping religious fanatics.

collective punishment is an abomination.

Vandalizing someone's car with a racist insult is an abomination.

They're both abominations; punish the vandals and not those who are innocent.

Alright, I did the math. If one student was responsible for the vandalism then 99.85401459854015% of students would be innocent. My estimate was pretty close.

Good, America's institutions should show absolutely ZERO tolerance for racism. I know the president and 12 year-old 4chan users like to encourage bigotry and racial superiority, but it's 2017 and this sh**t shouldn't be happening.

I applaud their intolerance of racism but the vast majority of students are not racist.

Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Or when it doesn't really matter if you're 0.05% off.

And why does anybody care?

Not only are you so bad at math that you think being wrong by a factor of ten is close, your reading comprehension is terrible too.

Even if it was 10 students, 99.85% of students would still be innocent. That still doesn't change the fact that the vast majority of students weren't involved.
