PRO-SLAVERY CHS DISPUTE

A new uproar brewing at Columbia High School, where some students reportedly wore "pro-slavery" T-shirts.


PATCH reports this statement from district officials:

“While we recognize a limited right of student free speech in a public school setting, communication that is demeaning or derogatory is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

This matter is the subject of ongoing investigation. We are not able to discuss the details pertaining to any particular student. The district’s Code of Conduct provides a spectrum of consequences and interventions based on the history of the student and the severity of behavior.

CHS will continue to implement programs and services to assure that an environment respectful of all and conducive to learning continues.”
