Officials from a Connecticut high school have apologized after students taunted members of an opposing basketball team with chants of “Trump! Trump! Trump!”
A group of seven or eight Canton High School students directed the chants at members of Classical Magnet School during a conference playoff game on Tuesday night, according to the Associated Press. Canton is an affluent suburb of Hartford and the school is 84% white. Classical Magnet, by comparison, is in the city of Hartford and over 69% of its students are black or Latino.
The chants occurred “throughout the game” and also included chants of “he’s our president,” according the Hartford Courant.
