Calls for expulsion of white University of Mississippi students caught making racist gestures are understandable, but education matters more. On November 6, a Ring doorbell camera captured two white female students allegedly making monkey noises and beating their chests. The university condemned the behavior as deeply troubling and launched an investigation. While accountability is necessary, expulsion could turn them into victims, as we've seen with other publicized racist incidents. Instead, the university should require a sustained educational program on the history of anti-Black racism, facilitated discussions, and written reflections. If they fail to comply or reoffend, expulsion follows. Black people deserve fewer racists, not just racists who hide better.
