Boston Latin activists rip #WeAreBLS movement

BOSTON — Student activists at Boston Latin School, the embattled prestigious exam school that's already seen two top administrators leave in response to allegations the institution is rife with racism, appear to be at odds with a new movement aimed at creating an atmosphere of unity at the school.

The activists, members of the organization dubbed BLS B.L.A.C.K., (Black Leaders Aspiring for Change and Knowledge), utilized social media platforms this past school year to rally the public and various local news outlets to their cause, which appeared bent on exposing a racial divide between administrators and the student body. Last week's resignations of Headmaster Lynne Mooney Teta and Assistant Headmaster Malcolm Flynn prompted an outcry from faculty members and a swath of parents who alleged that outside groups has unjustly made scapegoats out of Teta and Flynn.
