CNN has obscured the faces of the students

CNN — A high school student in Florida has been suspended after taking a photo of two female classmates without their knowledge and posting it as an ad on Craigslist with the title: “two slaves for sale.”

• dehumanization
• violence against vulnerable persons
• hatred that is normalized online and in school
• unchecked bigotry
• peer pressure to commit crimes
• extreme rejection of moral authority
• contempt for history and religion
• ridicule of traditional familial mores and standards of conduct
• intrusion of anti-democratic values into the classroom and broader society\
