Officials at a suburban Chicago high school have denounced a student’s prom proposal that contained a racist comment, but some students and parents want the district to go farther in their response to the incident.
In a statement, school officials said:
“The derogatory, racist remarks in the post do not reflect Central 301’s values or our standards of appropriate and acceptable student conduct. Central Community Unit School District 301 is a very diverse district, and we celebrate and value our diversity. Actions that go against our values of inclusion and respect have no place in our schools or our school-sponsored activities.”
The school urged members of the community with concerns to contact school officials. Students were told to reach out to school social workers, the administration noted. School officials did not share details regarding potential disciplinary action against the student who made the proposal in their statement.
Meanwhile, the school's prom is taking place Friday, and Haynes says that she isn't going to let the post dissuade her from going.
