Harris is considering transferring her children to Woodcrest Christian School because she’s worried the incidents could lead to safety concerns.ĭistrict officials have said they can’t discuss what disciplinary measures, if any, students faced, citing student privacy rights. “By not offering a repercussion, they’re condoning it, in my opinion,” Kenya Harris said. Earhart students have made derogatory remarks about black people before and gotten only warnings in response, she said.

She said the video at Earhart is part of an unacceptable pattern. Harris’ mother, Kenya Harris, said she has another daughter that attends King. Students from King High posed with a swastika and Confederate flag, along with what may be a white power sign, in a photo that circulated on social media in early February. The middle school is in Orangecrest, the same neighborhood as Martin Luther King High School. That’s 8% of the student body, which is 38% Latino and 36% white, according to the most recent state enrollment data. Harris was one of 78 African American students at Earhart, which had 926 students, according to 2018-19 statistics. The race of the students is unclear in the videos, which show a busy campus.

“We will finish our investigation and we will take steps to provide support and use it as an opportunity to assist students and the community to have this important conversation around inclusivity and creating a safe environment for kids to learn.”

“We’re taking this situation very seriously,” Walker said by phone. In the meantime, counselors are available. Given the number of students present, the investigation will probably be lengthy, Walker said. “I do not have any information at this time, as it was brought to the attention of the school district after hours and will need to be thoroughly investigated.” “The Administration at Earhart MS is investigating the creation of a short video that appears to have been distributed by students through social media, where they are yelling what appears to be a chant with a response,” Walker wrote.
