Concerned residents and parents spoke out against racism and harassment Up North during a Traverse City school board meeting Monday night.
The agenda was dominated by allegations of racist behavior among high school students in Traverse City Area Public Schools. On April 23 the district announced that some were sharing slavery-themed pictures of students of color with price tags on the social media app Snapchat. This follows a trend that’s popped up in other schools across the country.
The messages sent by Traverse City students also included threats against black students and urged for another holocaust against people of color. Another student eventually reported the chat to school officials.
