Threats Over Racist Prom Proposal Force Schools to Go Remote On 4/29/21 at 10:47 AM EDT A Minnesota school district has switched to distance learning for the rest of the week after schools were sent threats linked to a racist prom proposal. The proposal photo, posted on Facebook on Tuesday, showed two white students holding a sign that read: "If I was Black I'd be picking cotton, but I'm white so I'm picking you. Prom?" In a message to parents on Wednesday, which was provided to Newsweek, the school district said it had received "a number of threats towards our schools" in connection with the prom proposal.
