Indianapolis Black teens scared to go to school after racist bullying, ‘He said he would sell me into slavery’

Indianapolis parents of two teens are outraged after their daughters became victims to racist threats and bullying keeping the teens from school. One of the teen’s fathers Alexander Wortham told The Indy Channel, he had a feeling something was up with his daughter Imani who started acting strange and asking to stay home from school more than usual. The other teen parent Dominique Duncan soon learned both the children were being bullied by a classmate at the Horizon Christian School.

Duncan said she felt “very let down” as a parent to learn her daughter LaShanti was being bullied.

“Silence is killing our young people,” Wortham said. “People not dealing with the issue. Not dealing with the problem and I think for us, as parents, enough is enough.”

The teens said a male student started bullying them at school and saying remarks like they would be the first to get shot if there was ever a school shooting.

“He pointed to me personally, he looked me in the eye,” Imani recalled.

“He said he would sell me into slavery if I didn’t do what he said and then he started making little jingles about slavery,” LaShanti said.

An email sent to parents by a school administrator expressed that the student in question had been suspended after the girls’ parents took their complaints to the administration.

The unnamed teen has been allowed to return to school.
