FORT WORTH, Texas — The Mansfield school district investigated the circulation of a racist photo at Summit High School on Monday, according to a statement from the district.
The photo, which circulated on social media, shows a white teenage boy in a cowboy hat standing next to a Black teen, who appears to be kneeling or sitting on the floor. The Black teen has a noose around his neck, and the white teen holds the end of the rope. Text edited onto the picture says, “Healthy (racial slur) boy for sale. If interested visit summit baseball team.”
Summit High School students created the image and shared it with other students through social media, according to Mansfield ISD’s statement, which was sent to the Star-Telegram by spokeswoman Lari Barager. The investigation regarding the photo is ongoing, the statement said.
