Well now that a good chunk of the fact base for the Missouri students original issues has been revealed as a hoax, I have changed my opinion on this whole thing and I think the copycat actions elsewhere are repugnant.

I wouldn't hire any of these folks.  They have no idea what goes outside their bubble of "safe zones" and "microagression"

You think you've been "triggered"?  Try having a furious customer vent at you for two straight minutes (it feels a whole lot longer than that) and call you every name in the book and then some.  These kids would break down crying in the face of that.

Is racism a problem?  Yes.  But the way to counter racist speech is to have the guts to personally call it out for what it is, and publicly shame the person who does it - not go running to the school to "outlaw hate speech"

I'm keeping a list of every school whose administrators don't have the guts to stand up to these clowns.  My younger HS sophomore son will not be applying to any of them.
