A Henry County high school is investigating an incident where a white female student is captured on camera using the N-word at a Black male student. The male is then seen slapping the female.
“Racism in any shape or form isn’t okay," Komisha Davis said.
Komisha Davis' 15-year-old daughter goes to Locust Grove High School, where the now viral incident happened.
“For you to hear that your child is not safe at a place you send her to every day, that’s devastating," Davis said.
Davis said she's considering switching her daughter's school after hearing of multiple racial incidents there.
“I would like to see them not throw what they call just a word under the rug," Davis said.
Senior Layla Moreau and her friend organized a protest at the high school Thursday morning.
“I’ve been called an N-word myself," Layla Moreau said.
Moreau said she feels uncomfortable being a Black student at a predominantly white high school.
"We decided to take action against it because this is not the first time at that school or a school in Henry County," Moreau said.
Parents tell 11Alive the male student received punishment for slapping the female student, while the girl who said the N-word initially did not.
“It shouldn’t be two different treatments," Moreau said. "Give the same treatment for everybody and not based on their skin color.”
Moreau is helping to organize a program for Black students to express their concerns at school.
