Warwick story makes the Associated Press, meaning it will be carried in newspapers around the state today - and around the nation, probably to a lesser extent.

The story mentions the Jena 6 incident, as have some of the local pieces. Cops in Lititz say there’s no connection, though I suspect there is (that’s the subject for this week’s print edition). I do think it odd, though, that here you have a generation that is supposed to be distanced from the racist attitudes of the past; it’s sort of a trite word, but you like to think these kids, this generation, is a lot more enlightened than previous generations.

And then you get Warwick; then you get Jena, La. And you say, well, that’s an aberration, and surely it is; but I think society is maybe fooling itself about its kids racial “enlightenment,” or that there are other factors at work. Tribalism, so prevalent in our politics, our culture and our media; that’s part of it, I think.
