Authorities described the group's messages on Snapchat as "cyberbullying" and "harassment"
A group of high school students in Texas have been disciplined for setting up a "Slave Trade" messaging group that assigned prices to their black peers.
Messages shared on the Snapchat app at a school in Aledo said one student was worth a dollar and another "100 bucks", the New York Times reported.
The school district conducted an inquiry and found "racial harassment and cyber bullying" had occurred.
But some parents accused authorities of failing to respond appropriately.
Messages posted on the group's Snapchat, which was reportedly labelled with terms such as "farm" and "auction", said the price set for one student "would be better if his hair wasn't so bad", according to the New York Times, which said it had seen screenshots of exchanges.
