General John Kelly was named new White House Chief of Staff on Friday.
Kelly, 67, the current secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, is the first Boston native to run the White House staff. He grew up in Brighton.
A rising junior at Trinity College in Hartford, where administrators were prompted to shut down the campus last month after a professor insinuated online that black Capitol Hill Police officers should have left white GOP lawmakers to die following a leftist's assassination attempt, has claimed in a Hartford Courant op-ed that white privilege runs rampant at her school.
Student Vianna Iorio, whose "Unraveling White Privilege At Trinity" column ran in Friday's Courant, begins her column lamenting the "outpouring of vile, hateful, racist, ignorant comments on social media," but points the finger not at Professor Johnny Eric Williams's June 18 Facebook post but at the reactions that ensued.
