What happened?
[[It's kind of hard to explain. |List of Tragedies]]I'm listening.
[[Well, the white power group had a bit of an incident. | Kids Rhetoric]]
[[We have a serious ICE problem on this campus. | Soften your language]]
[[You know about the new mosque in town...? | Soften your language]]
[[There appears to have been some foul play at the last football game. | Kids Rhetoric]]
[[Well... | List 2]]We need to come together. What should we call ourselves?
[[Brothers and sisters.]]
[[One human race.]]
[[An inclusive and supportive community.]]
[[Long time advocates for justice and equality.]]
[[A people.]]My hands are really tied here.
[[... | Soften2]]Don't say another word. We have to come out on top of this or it's our asses on the line. Go draft a statement with the rest of the team.
[[Right away. | Start of Draft]]Spit it out.
[[You know that old looney Chris? | Time]]
[[People are starting to talk about the way our president treats his wife in public. | Time]]
[[A police officer murdered an unarmed black man on his way to pick up his daughter from school. It's unacceptable. | Cop Friend]]
[[A hacker's broke into our network. They can see everything. | Time]]
[[Two seniors at the college were photographed in New York Times protesting the Women's march with signs that read "What were you wearing?" | Kids Rhetoric]]
[[A student was seriously hurt, Jim. By one of our other students. | Video Games]]They're just kids! Why do people always make such a big deal out of things?
[[Well... | Time2]]This is going to look awful for our upcoming fundraiser.
[[I... | Time to Start 3]]
[[Really? | Time4]]Jesus Christ, not again.
[[... | Time2]]Crime happens everywhere, you know. I don't know what this has to do with *our* institution in particular. We always get the short end of the stick for trying these diversity initiatives.
[[I don't know, I... | Time2]]And what do you have to say about it? Do you even believe in our mission? The service we provide to this community?
[[I mean... | Time to Start 3]]Video games! They're making our kids sick!
[[You're right. | Time2]]
[[I don't think it's just the games. | Soften2]]Where did you hear that? Who's side of the story are we getting here?
[[It's national news. | CopFriend2]]Well, listen, my buddy’s a cop and he says you shouldn’t believe everything you see on the news.

What do you guys think? Should we add one more line to assure them we'll be working on this?
[[Tell them we'll set up a committee! | An administrative commission will be established to investigate the issue further.]]
[[Remind them of the importance of looking at both sides of the issue. | BOTHSIDES]]
