I have questions, but I think I'd rather not know.

GPrep also generally has a race and class perception problem that this incident did not help with. Hence, the very public walkout supported by the principal.

I still have nightmares about that time, when I was teaching at a Catholic school in West Baltimore, that the one white kid in the class decided to celebrate spirit day by draping himself in Confederate flag gear.

The internet makes all of this even worse, since most adults are pretty meme illiterate, and the internet is so draped in indecipherable layers of irony and supposed irony these days. Having a "meme day" is pretty much asking for trouble.

the yelling dude on the plane? Not to mock him and his ilk?

Or maybe it's just too hard to tell the difference, in which case I understand schools cracking down.
