A student journalist who attacked Black Lives Matter in a newspaper column claims he has been forced by bullies into having home schooling.

Michael Moroz, 17, from Philadelphia wrote the opinion piece in December in the Central High School publication the Centralizer.

In it, he suggested that unarmed black teenager Michael Brown who was killed in Missouri in 2014 by a white police officer was a 'delinquent' and a 'thug'.

When his column was posted on the newspaper's Facebook page, Moroz started receiving threats, meaning he was forced to stay away from the school.

And even three months on from the column being published and it now being pulled from the web, he has had to withdraw from the school and complete his senior year at home.

He told FoxNews.com: 'When everything started to happen, I was surprised. Whenever we posted an op-ed, we never got a reaction like I did with this one. In retrospect, I was naive to think that this would have been the same. Now, it’s more disappointing than anything.'

But despite now continuing his education at home, he claims he is still receiving threats from students and even staff at the school.

He points to comments on Twitter, which appears to show a teacher laughing when a student asked if she could 'punch' Moroz.

And now he says action should be taken against those making threats on social media.

He added: 'If I made threats on Twitter against someone who wrote a pro-Black Lives Matter column, I wouldn’t be getting any leniency.

One of the teachers at Central High School also appeared to criticise the article as being 'intentionally inflammatory

'It’s been more than one person and the school isn’t doing anything about it.'

However, officials for the Philadelphia school district say appropriate action has been taken against those who made threats against him.
