Ok, I think you all have missed a great 'teachable moment'. rather than condemn Xavier, someone should have texted him and explained why his use of the word 'retard" was inappropriate. you were quick to condemn him and dismiss his behavior but offered no redemption. that is the worst part. Xavier should have the opportunity for redemption. Young people make mistakes. Simple compassion and a text would have stopped this from being blown out of proportion.
Do you really think someone of that temperament would have listened to a reasonable message and changed their ways? I think someone should have done that of course but I doubt seriously if it would change him.
