Yes. This news article cherry picked some very mild complaints, compared to some of the ones I read from Concordia's Facebook. The interesting thing is, I've seen no further complaints. Previously, anything Concordia posted had a few people that would demand the video be taken down.

FYI, if I seem obsessed about this topic, it's because this is my high school alma mater.

He had this to say about it: "I am so proud of the students at concordia Lutheran high school. I also want everyone to notice the irony in this. Pastor Chad Hoover suggested that protesters would protest in a Christian manner. These amazing students are doing that. They heard and respected his message completely. All I know I ask is that the school will respect them and change the culture of systemic racism that has existed at the school for a very long time."

And an article that makes some possible dubious claims about Concordia being the beneficiary of white racist parents sending their children to a private school instead of allowing them to be bussed to a formerly black school. Worth noting that the author is an alum who went back to teach at Concordia in 2014, but is no longer a teacher there.

My last comment. When this story first broke, I read through all of the comments on the video, then started poking around some related posts on the school's Facebook wall. I found one comment by a white alum that she was called a "race traitor" by a school administrator for being in an interracial relationship. I found another from a Hispanic alum who mentioned that some of his teachers assumed and treated him as an illegal, even though he was born in the US.
