She's tired of these same exact people getting away with things like this, so it kind of adds to the frustration.”Another parent, Chris Singleton, also expressed his concern surrounding the situation while speaking to CBS 13:“Hopefully, if something like that does happen, he [his son] stays away from it. I don’t know any of the kids or who the parents are. I just say people need to be taught a bit better not to do that kind of thing.”Several other parents and students also took to Twitter to react to the situation and demanded the school take action against the students in question:Big Areola Energy@elizabethaxtmanMy entire education in the Wheatland School district came with only two Black teachers in Jr High.
