Iona Prep students walk out over racist remark

The student on the receiving end is leaving the school, too.

Stand for something or fall for anything! Salute to this young man for having the courage to speak out!

BS statement. They know their staff members and as the young man stated it wasn’t the first instance of racist comments made by staff! They will always protect their own

So glad to see the students standing by him. It's angers me when racist adults bully black children. It's cowardly and is down right racial abuse towards a child.

[pimpnamedslickback]

Good for him. Go where you're respected young man. Dont put up with that bs

[djxcel]

I used to bring my runners there for track meets, the person resigned but i bet he will still paid. Straight nonsense

[terrybear]

What about the others he complained about to the Dean and higher ups?

[soulfunktion]

I applaud Tony Humphrey and his family for taking the right action, hats off to the students for the walkout. As for the Iona Prep administration they need to better and barely get a 1 out of 10 from me.

[kyledabandit]

Props to him for not letting the negativity get him down

[astonmarton]

Where all the white folks at? Not going to speak on this huh? Let it be a black person y’all would fill these comments in a heartbeat

[stonedmuscle]

So we are not exposing the adult who said this? Ok, keep that in mind. New

"Leto then addressed the student body after the schoolwide prayer service and affirmed that an investigation had been launched as soon as they were made aware of the incident" Just as soon as he realized it was going public and they couldn't ignore it any longer. Up till than they did absolutely dcik all about it. Now it is all outrage and promises.

[soulfunktion]

Staff member resigned, the investigation will go nowhere, he'll get another job in another school and continue with his racist behaviour. I think Iona prep need to ensure any reference mentions the investigation. This racist individual should not be in the education system. Also why hasn't anyone named him as it's public knowledge who he is and i don't even live in America!

[rilyjonez]

The only gave a public speech because they realized it's making headlines..acting like they're actively doing something about it..its not the first time definitely unfortunately as I've been told over and over again..it won't be the last either..what a shame. But its 🇺🇸 for you..

[MslgGunther-vu]

! As much money people pay to sent their kid to this school and they don’t hire better staff?!?

[Emick]

Do the right thing before you’re forced to people

[MrYoung]

If he think that’s bad wait till he gets to Boston! He need to come on down to Louisiana to Southern University A&M

[Flawda_marlon]

They hate to see African Americans in Baseball smh

[victortorres]

Courageous Tony we wish you the Best always on your path and dreams 🙏

[donnagray]

Oh the internal investigation response. The school has already chosen a side and it’s not standing with the student. Shameful

[vtv]

They did that walk out for fun best believe
