| Good afternoon, Chicago. Lincoln-Way High School District 210 board members will allow six students who engaged in racist taunting of Homewood-Flossmoor High School community members during a football game Sept. 4 to voluntarily withdraw from the district, after voting unanimously on the matter yesterday. The decision followed a walkout at Lincoln-Way East where about 50 students protested the racist taunting by their peers at the football game against H-F, along with similar actions alleged at a girls cross country meet the following day.
