African-American high school student allegedly hazed with a noose by white teammates | theGrio: The city of Wynne, Arkansas is getting some unwanted attention after white students on the high school junior varsity football team were accused of hazing an African-American student with a noose.
KSDK.com reports seven Wynne High School students are alleged to have put nooses around the unidentified student’s neck as part of the hazing ritual.
“There was an incident in the ninth grade locker room,” Superintendent Carl Easley told KSDK.com. “Two students are being recommended for expulsion and five have been suspended from school.”
The students may face not just school disciplinary action but criminal charges as well. Members of staff may also find themselves in trouble.
“Kids at no time should be left unsupervised and we’re gonna have to revisit how we supervise students,” said Easley.
