Students At Oakland Mills High School Staging Walkout This Morning

Days after an Oakland Mills High School student was disciplined for posting a racist photo online -- some students are staging a walkout this morning.

The racist photo shows a picture of the student and the N-word.

Annabelle, the student organizer leading the walkout, says students are not being told how the students making these threats are being disciplined.

The students planning to protest say all Howard County students should feel safe everyday. They are calling for a zero tolerance policy when it comes to hate speech and want to present a petition to administrators.

Oakland Mills' principal supports the walkout, according to the student organizer.
