The Washington Times is running a story about Lisa McClelland a 15 year old high school student who wants to create a Caucasian Club at her high school. Many at the school support her efforts claiming that a Caucasian Club would be no different that the already existing African American and Latin clubs already at the school. Others oppose the club stating that such a club would fuel racial tension.

While at face value, there appears to be nothing wrong with the desire to create a Caucasian Club when you all sorts of other clubs based on race are allowed. The main reason sited in the story for creating the club is that the club “would focus attention on European heritage and history.” Strangely, the Washington Times story made no mention of the major oversight here. The implication that all Europeans are Caucasian is clearly wrong. Frankly, the attempt to pass this off with such a lame excuse is actually what makes the motive suspect. In all honesty had Ms.McClelland been straight forward and said that the club would focus on white heritage and history, it would be much more believable and worthy of consideration. Maybe a Scandinavian Club would suit the needs. Unfortunately, as with most attempts to veil incitement, it’s not fooling anyone except stupid people.
