Dozens of students walked out of Centennial High School in Circle Pines on a recent sunny morning after an Asian student received text messages containing racist and vulgar remarks.
Someone later placed stickers on the building with swastikas and the words, We are everywhere, leaving Aundrea Atkinson, a junior who spoke at the March 29 protest, to suspect the incidents were related.
The Centennial district says it is committed to equity and to listening to students. But some at the school still feel hurt, angry and ignored, and they ve stepped up publicly to have their voices heard.
