DINGDINGDINGDING!Pretty amazing what happens when one edits a sentence. After reading the story, what seems to escape most is that the caption was a question, not a statement. Removing the "or not" creates easy fodder for those race hustling ass hats that would rather divide.

Context matters. Repped.
The "or not" doesn't make the tweet right. Editing out the "or not" in the headline intentionally makes the tweet sound even worse than it was, and paints the tweeter in the worst possible light.You really think the "or not" makes a difference? Good on the kids for walking out. Good on them for learning that what is said on social media matters. It's a lesson that even adults are having a very difficult time with. They're not asking for anyone to be fired, they're asking for an explanation.
As someone who edits out personal insults the "or not" doesn't mean a whole hell of a lot.
So if I post, "You're a racist ***got, or not." adding the "or not" makes it perfectly fine?
Sorry but I disagree.

The kids did the right thing by protesting. The guy's a dumbass for tweeting it. I think he should be fired or at the very least severely reprimanded for tweeting it. But whoever selectively edited the headline deserves to be called out as well.

Sly my brother..you should change your avatar to a chihuahua, at least they look like a troll.
Of course "or not" changes the make up of the sentence from an absolute statement to a question.
ok, and as far as the kids walking out...really? You approve? The whole thing reeks of race baiting bull shit, and over reacting on all fronts. Had the situation been reversed and the white kids walked out, they would have been suspended. Bet on it.
