Former Boston School Committee member Lorna Rivera said she was "sick of Westie whites" in a text message she sent to fellow former board member Alexandra Oliver-Davila during a committee meeting on admissions policies, the Boston Globe reported on Monday. "Whatever. They're delusional," Oliver-Davila said, in reference to parents from Boston's West Roxbury neighborhood. "Wait until the white racists start yelling at us," Rivera said in another text.
