Related links with LAT story finger wrong Westlake school

wrong-westlake-lat.jpgThe Los Angeles Times is playing up a Monday story by James Rainey on how tough the at-school culture is for some students who attend Harvard-Westlake, the highly rated LA private academy where the alumni include Mayor Eric Garcetti. Unfortunately, the related links running with the story on LATimes.com point to old sports stories about a wholly unrelated local school that also happens to have Westlake in the name. Let's assume some tech-driven solution the Times bought into is responsible, and hope there isn't a human editor who confuses the very swanky and very private Harvard-Westlake with the very public Westlake High School out in Westlake Village.
