Bernert letter: Dietrich case
I’d like to take a moment and look at the recent high school locker room assault from a different perspective. In this version, all the athletes are black and the object of their “pranks” is a disabled white boy. Can you honestly say you think the outcome would be the same? Not in this day and not in Idaho. Or maybe not anywhere in our country ... which saddens me even more. For my own peace of mind, I have to believe we can do better.
