I’m making this thread of racism/sexism/general ignorance I’ve seen over the years by students at THS. I’ve seen too many people who think Trenton is perfect. Please add if you remember any.
The notorious incident where a student wore a CONFEDERATE FLAG CAPE to school
Someone throwing a sandwich at the feminist club and yelling “make me a sandwich.” Waste of a perfectly good sandwich.
Of course I’ve heard white kids say the n-word so many times. Kids you wouldn’t expect. Kids who spout “peace and love” yet turn around and do that kind of stuff.
KIDS WALKING DOWN THE HALLWAY SALUTING HITLER AND PLAYING THE NAZI ANTHEM. NO JOKE.
The classic Straight Pride Club in response to the LGBT+ club being created
Someone literally said to my gay friend’s face: being gay is wrong. He justified it with the Bible.
Let us not forget the 20+ “protestors” who showed up to our first feminist club meeting and laughed at us

Constant mocking and disrespect toward Christine Blasey-Ford during the Kavanaugh hearings as we watched them live-streamed in AP Government. No wonder women don’t speak out about their trauma.
A few weeks ago a student called my trans friend “it”
Ok here’s a big one: The Trojan Pit refused to wear colors of the rainbow (to represent different colored cancer ribbons) for a cancer fundraiser because they thought it would look like they were celebrating pride https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤭" title="Gesicht mit Hand über dem Mund" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Hand über dem Mund">
My friend confronted an asshole who sexually harassed her and then he unleashed an army of white boy rage on our entire friend group https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Funken" aria-label="Emoji: Funken">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Funken" aria-label="Emoji: Funken">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Funken" aria-label="Emoji: Funken">

Rape jokes, holocaust jokes, slavery jokes, the usual.
I guess I block these things out of my mind... I just remembered that after I wore a shirt that said “womens rights are human rights”, I got a bunch of messages from an anonymous number about how women aren’t meant to be equal to men while I was sitting at the lunch table
Trump supporter class president accused the Prism club of a hate crime against her for egging her car after she said being gay goes against her religion even though it could have been like 5000 other people who don’t like her just as much
My sister was learning Arabic in high school and was constantly showered with comments and “jokes” about how she’s probably “learning to make bombs”
It’s embarrassing that our class of 2020 “valedictorian” was talking about how if a woman is silent it means they’re giving consent. In a CLASS DISCUSSION. Ladies stay away.
Just remembered someone tried to explain to me that native Americans should integrate into society instead of having their own land...
I’ve been around groups of boys who said they “fucking hated” an English teacher because of how much of a feminist she was and how she should “leave it outside” when really she was talking about the REAL issues that need to be addressed in schools like racism and other injustices
It’s English class!!!!! How are you gonna read a book like 1984 or The Bean Trees without having a conversation about the societal issues it addresses
Ok don’t even get me started on the walkout. I get it... Trenton is too sensitive to handle that level of direct action. But the amount of hate we received after was insane.
