Hurricane High School student disciplined over racist “repulsive” Snapchat photo

Washington County School District is disciplining Hurricane High School students who created and distributed a graphic, racist Snapchat picture all over the high school.

FOX 13 reported the district responded with “disgust and sadness” over the photo that involved students and non-student adults.

“No level of discipline can repair the hate, bigotry and ugliness portrayed in that one picture,” read a statement released by the district.

The photo showed a person with a Ku Klux Klan-like white mask over his head while standing in front of a Confederate flag. The person was holding two men in blackface by the back of their shirts as they played dead.
