A viral video has circulated of a white female student being slapped by a Black male student after she called him the N-word during school hours at Locust Grove High School.
Another Solid Start For Scherzer
“For you to hear that your child is not safe at a place you send her to every day, that’s devastating,” Davis said. “I would like to see them not throw what they call just a word under the rug.”
Davis shared told the publication she has considered transferring her daughter out of Locust Grove after numerous racial incidents happening within the school’s halls.
“Make the kids know that it’s okay to come to school and learn and not have to be called the N-word,” Davis said.
The administration issued the male student with disciplinary repercussions for the slap, while the female student who agitated the incident will not face any consequences.
Unsatisfied with the school’s decision following the viral incident, a senior at Locust Grove, Layla Moreau, and her friend organized a protest to support Black students experiencing racism at the predominantly white high school.
“I’ve been called an N-word myself,” Moreau said. “We decided to take action against it because this is not the first time this has happened at that school or a school in Henry County.”
