Rush to Judgment: An autopsy of a racial power grab in Coronado | Fox News

Less than 12 hours after the game, the Coronado Unified School District s board blasted the “racism, classism, and colorism which fueled the actions of the perpetrators.” The California Interscholastic Federation soon stripped the championship from the high school, imposed sanctions on all of its sports programs (yes, even women s lacrosse) and made racial sensitivity training one of the conditions for redemption.  

It was not until nearly two months later that I learned what had been reported was wildly inaccurate. Programs like the Anti-Defamation League s (ADL) No Place for Hate had been quick to brand the teenagers on the team as racist but it was a 40-year-old man named Luke Serna that had brought the tortillas. He has been described by the townspeople as a Coronado alum who had not been to a game all year, a latino, a president of a local union and a political activist with ties to the island s left-wing groups that advocate for critical race theory (CRT). It was this man who told the players, cheerleaders and fans to throw the tortillas in the air in celebration if Coronado won.

O great. So it was a 40 year old CRT activist who provoked this whole sorry incident? One of the victims (if this account is true) was the Coronado basketball coach, JD Laaperi, who is the son of the long-time and much-loved former principal of the elementary school all of our four boys went to. I was embroiled in my own falderal about the same time or I would have reported on it already. RTWT.
