A hate crime on the campus of a New England college puts the school's dean in a position where she has to examine her own feelings about race and prejudice, while maintaining her administration's politically correct policies.
Sarah Daniels taught in a Lancaster school and developed deep prejudice against minorities, especially blacks. She decided to re-locate to Belmont, Vermont with the hopes that it will be 'all white', and gets hired in Belmont College. She does not disclose her past to anyone, but when an African-American student, Simon Brick, becomes the victim of hate crime, she soon realizes that not only will her past return to haunt her, she will be expected to be the liaison person for the minorities, as well as be asked to prepare a 10-point bullet-ed list to resolve racism.—rAjOo ([email protected])
Sarah Daniels teaches in Lancaster where the majority of students are of color, mostly black. She soon develops a deep prejudice, hatred, and even fear of blacks, and even avoids sitting next to black men while traveling on the subway. When she finds out about a vacancy in Belmont College in Vermont, a community she believes is predominantly white, she re-locates there.
Once there, she does not disclose her prejudice about blacks and settles down to teach her students.
But her past will come to revisit after a black student, Simon Brick, becomes the target of a hate crime. The administration of Belmont College respond by staging a forum, and paying some 'lip service'. But after more incidents take place against Simon, and with heavy media presence, the administration, who has already labeled her as a 'minority liaison', ask her to prepare a ten point list to resolve racism.
