A North Texas school district is condemning the acts of students who reportedly assigned prices to students of color in a Slave Trade auction Snapchat group message.
The Aledo Independent School District released a statement on Monday denouncing the actions of students at the Daniel Ninth Grade Campus who were bullying and harassing other students based on their race.
The name of the group message changed multiple times, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported, using a racial slur in the name in many instances.
In the group message, one student said a student was worth a dollar and the price “would be better if his hair wasn’t so bad,” according to a photo of the group chat shared with USA TODAY. The group message also had emojis with a police officer pointing its gun at a Black farmer.
