Student Suspended for Racism

In western Wisconsin a 9th grade male student from Baldwin-Woodville High School was suspended for putting a KKK symbols and a noose on an African American female’s student’s desk. She was one of four African American students at the high school. She is a foster child who had been made fun of for the two years but nothing ever as terrible as this. The other students are now saying that she had over-reacted to the incident. The boy who did it was only going to get 1 day suspension but after the NAACP contacted the school, he received a longer suspension. The Principle of the school says that he is disappointed by the unacceptable behavior, but he isn’t doing anything to prevent something like this from happening again.
