Three New York high school students have been suspended and more are expected to be disciplined for posting racist messages on social media following their school’s loss in a basketball game to a largely Black team.
“Those students are held accountable,” said Mahopac Central School District Superintendent Thomas Manko, who emphasized that members of the team were not involved in the tweets. “They have been suspended from school. They’ll lose privileges for participating in activities for a long time to come.”
