Aledo High School senior Piper Minick said she was disgusted and physically ill by what she described as blatant acts of racism in the school district and by flyers depicting a "slave sale" discovered Monday morning.
âThe motto in Aledo is Growing Greatness and I donât know about yâall but I have been taught my whole life by my mom, by my teachers, that actions speak louder than words. It is now time that our students of color can come to school and not be devalued by their peers,â Minick said. âI say this with the utmost respect, no amount of state championship titles are now going to erase the racism here in Aledo and that we are now known for.â
