Yes, the board game was indecent but, he is only in 7th Grade he was just doing the assignment he was given and he probably didn't even think it would be taken in that way. We have to remember that they had been reading books about racism in the 1930's and so the terrible actions mentioned on the board game were probably taken straight from a book. I understand why it was taken the wrong way but at the same time I think this it was a bit of an over reaction. The problem should have been taken to the school board first instead of being blown up into this huge ordeal. Now, because of this game people are grouping all of the Andover students together and saying we are racists and you have no idea what thats like for me as a student. I have tons of friends in Wichita Schools of every different race and now because of this they refuse to hang out if anyone from my school is with me because they think we're racist. This should have been handled in a way where other students who weren't even remotly involved wouldn't have consequences.

Hi. My name is Ariana and i'm a student at Andover High School. Although i no longer go to the middle school i do know many of the students and almost all of the faculty. I believe that the assignment was a bad idea, there were to many ways it could have been offensive. However, i can assure that none of this was done to purposely discriminate or anything.
