Group of Texas students disciplined after they pretended to auction Black classmates in social media group chat
FORT WORTH, Texas Multiple high school students in Texas are facing disciplinary action after they created a social media group pretending to auction off their Black peers.
The group, called “N Auction” on the app Snapchat, was started by a handful of students at the Aledo Independent School District, just outside of Fort Worth.
One student bid $100 on one student, according to a screenshot of the messages. Another wrote “1$ on Chris. Would be better if his hair wasn’t so bad.”
The district initially described the chat as “cyber bullying” with “racially charged” language in an April 5 letter to parents, but ultimately labeled it “racist” after generating backlash from some Aledo residents.
