(WFIE) - Police are investigating after racist and anti-semitic comments were posted during a webinar. Western Academy Project Manager Allyson Sanders was holding a forum on how to help those in marginalized communities buy a home. Just minutes into the meeting, commenters started posting slurs towards those hosting the event. Sanders says this is sadly something they are still dealing with in 2021, but she chose to not attack back and feed into the negativity.
