An Oklahoma school was forced to send an apology after a black student appeared in a comedy skit at school for Positive Peers and his image was used in highly offensive post on Snapchat, together with an image of the confederate flag.

The events took place at Chandler High School in Chandler. The image was reworked and sent round to other students at the school, showing a photo of the boy in question wearing a prisoner’s uniform at an assembly with the caption, “N—er for auction.”

The teen responsible for sending the reprehensible image was then ousted by his friends and later suspended for his actions.

Miss Ashley Dawn Warner reacted via Facebook: “My blood is absolutely boiling.”

“This is my little brother pictured in this screenshot.”

“My brother is dressed up for Positive Peers as they are putting on a production for the school called Teen Forum,”

“He was being taken to jail in this scene and this is what another student posted. This is just ridiculous! I know bullying happens, I was bullied all throughout school, but it seems to happen a lot more in Chandler Schools then it should…I’m not sure if this is a result of piss poor parenting or if the school needs to do something regarding bullying or both; but this kinda crap isn’t acceptable.”

“I’m so sick of this racism s— and disgusted that it’s 2018 and we still let our children call other children ‘n—ers,'” Warner added. “Absolutely unacceptable.”

School officials informed various local media outlets that they had apologized to the black teen’s family.

“Chandler Public Schools experienced a deeply disturbing incident on Wednesday.

“A student Snapchatted a picture of another student, who was acting out a role designed specifically for educating students regarding the importance of positive peer relationships. The student also included with the picture highlight alarming language that was hateful and demeaning. This behavior is not repetitive of Chandler Public Schools, its staff members or its students.”

“The District has no tolerance for hateful depictions and captions regarding any student and has and will continue to address this unacceptable, despicable behavior whenever it occurs. In addition, districts officials will lean in with an even greater emphasis on educating students regarding no tolerance for actions or words that threaten, harass or bully others because of color.”
