SIMPSONVILLE, SC (WSPA) - Greenville County Schools officials said a student who was shown in a social media post holding a firearm and a poster with racist wording on it, has been suspended from Hillcrest High School.
We reported on Tuesday that Hillcrest High School's administration was investigating the post showing a girl holding what appears to be a rifle in her left hand and in her right hand a poster with a racial slur targeting African Americans written in large letters reading, "We hang ******* for free."
On Wednesday, Greenville County Schools spokesperson Beth Brotherton said the student has been suspended and will be recommended for expulsion.
Simpsonville Police Department officials said in a news release on Wednesday that there was no credible threats to students or staff at the high school, following an investigation into the social media post.
Police said they were made aware of the photo shared on social media on Tuesday and an investigation did not reveal any credible threats.
"As with any situation the Simpsonville Police Department encounters, the safety and well-being of all student Tts and staff are of utmost importance. Extra personnel were placed at the school after officials were made aware of the post to provide added protecton. We are currently working with the Greenville County School District to resolve any safety concerns related to this incident."
First Amendment is dead.
You used to have the right to be a racist jerk.
Kind of hard to spin that positively.
Blacks and whites tend not to get along. Stop the presses.
If she didn’t actually threaten anyone—isn’t it her constitutional right to be a racist and a jerk?
Do we now go through training to know what is racist and who the guilty are? Are we going to jump at every word and shut down free speech? Are you only going to monitor and stifle one side and let the liberals go with whatever?
Since when can biased humans be capable of deciding anything!!!
I don’t remembers threats being allowed.
He’s probably already consigned himself to the ranks of the permanently unemployable.
Well he can run for Governor of Virginia in the future
She.
Draperies?
We’ll see if theACLU takes this one up.
Strange times and stranger we’re living in.
Let unvetted and unassimable illegal aliens with no skills into the country in droves, treat them like citizens (or better), and give them enough welfare benes to be middle class.
Treat native born citizens with contempt and expect them to be perfect citizens their entire lives if they want to get any kind of employment.
The bosses had to suspend him. Otherwise the forces of political correctness would have put their jobs in jeopardy.
There was no threat made.
Even with no racist connotations that’s quite a threat.
How is being suspended from public school a punishment?
Sausages?...............wallpaper?............
I fail to see how this is any worse than the Official Mantra of LaRaza and the NAACP, WE HATE WHITE PEOPLE!
She didn’t do this on school property or during school hours. Hopefully her family has the means to legally pursue the school’s administrators. Sounds like she has a case.
