Letter: Perhaps it’s time to disband New Trier student section

I attended the Evanston Township High School meeting on Nov. 9 to stand in solidarity with our school leadership, school board and students. It was illuminating. ETHS school board members and New Trier staff members discussed reports of students in the New Trier section yelling racist and homophobic comments at members of the ETHS band during an Oct. 16 football game at Ryan Field.

Investigation finds evidence of racist, homophobic slurs at Illinois rivalry football game

The allegations of homophobic and racial slurs during a rivalry football game between New Trier (Winnetka, IL) and Evanston Township (IL) on Oct. 16 at Northwestern's brand-new $862 million stadium have been supported by evidence. New Trier Superintendent Dr. Peter W. Tragos said in a statement on Monday, Nov. 9 , that a joint investigation between the two schools found evidence supporting the alleged hateful slurs New Trier students directed at Evanston band members. "Since the game, we have conducted more than 40 interviews with students and staff," Tragos said in the statement. "We have also followed up on reports submitted through TrevTips and email, reviewed available videos, photographs, and social media material, and conducted additional interviews as new information emerged. This work has continued in collaboration with Evanston Township High School. "I want to make clear that the investigation supports accounts of hateful language and actions directed toward the Evanston marching band from individuals in the New Trier student section. We take these accounts seriously and recognize the hurt this incident has caused." Evanston Director of Communications Reine Hanna confirmed to USA TODAY Sports that Evanston worked with New Trier to investigate the claims. "We have been working closely
