Boner Preview Candidate #1: PERHAPS THIS SHOULD BE AN OBJECT LESSON
A Virginia community is reeling after students at a high school were made to watch a video about racial inequality during Black History Month. The animated film shown at Glen Allen High School in Henrico called ‘The Unequal Opportunity Race’ uses an actual race between white and black athletes as a metaphor for the advantages and disadvantages each face in different facets of life. The film is produced by the African American Policy Forum. Don Blake, a grandfather of a student who attends the school where the video was shown, called the film a ‘white guilt kind of video.’
Boner Preview Candidate #2: MY GUN IS A USEFUL TOOL
Reston Hospital Center is open and operating normally Wednesday, but police are investigating an overnight shooting incident. Police responded just after 1:30 a.m. after a 52-year-old Loudoun County man with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the upper body couldn’t get into a hospital building entrance, and fired a shot to get in. “He gets out of his car in front of the hospital and attempts to gain entry to the hospital. He finds the doors locked, so he apparently fires a bullet, a round at the glass doors, breaks the doors, gains entry into the hospital,” says police spokesman Don Gotthardt.

Boner Preview Candidate #5: THIS BILL WON’T PAY ITSELF
The family of Tamir Rice has been told to pay a past-due balance of $500 for life support and ambulance services the 12-year-old received after he was shot and killed by a police officer in 2014. His family said they were startled by the “insensitivity” of the claim, and a statement emailed to Mashable from the family’s attorney said it reflected “poor judgement” on behalf of the city whose officer killed Rice.
