Hate returns to Wilton high school

Wilton, CT – Wilton High School does not offer an AP Hate class, or even Creative Hate Speech Writing. But someone in the school has found a way to disseminate racist and anti-Semitic language, all the same.

 

Late last week I heard about a Twitter account under the name @YouLiveInWilton, whose screen name is “Wilton Life.” All the tweets are written as if they describe what life in Wilton is like.

 

Sadly, here’s one of the recent tweets from that account:

 

“Fucck Darien. Since they don’t allow Jews to live in their town, they dump them on our land!”


Lest you think Jews were the only targets, read the tweet that immediately preceded that one:

 

#IWillNeverUnderstandWhy people think we’re racist? We love black people… Everyone should own one.


There were several other tweets, many of them just as racist and antisemitic. Others were simply ‘snarky’ and obnoxious, still others just spoiled and bratty. All of them came off as pretty ignorant.
