FAIRFIELD, CT Thousands of people have signed an online petition calling for the expulsion of a 16-year-old student at Fairfield Warde High School, who is charged in connection with a racist Snapchat post targeting a classmate. Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) shouldn t have to encounter this type of racist harassment from other students in a predominantly white institution, the petition said. Fairfield Warde High School should take racism seriously, and the student who posted the racist comment should be expelled immediately.

I don t know what to say, I m speechless, Judith said. I have no idea what they re being taught at home.
