Four nooses were found Friday around the campus of Andrews High School in High Point, N.C., (where Fantasia Barrino once attended) police said. Two nooses were hung on a tree in front of the school, one was in a bus loop near the upperclassmen's parking lot, and one red noose was tied to the top of the school flagpole, High Point Police Capt. Margaret Erga said, citing a police report. School administrators discovered the hate symbols around 8:30AM and notified the authorities.
Extra police officers were brought to the campus and security was in force at Andrews High School for the remainder of the day. No charges have been filed however, it's still under investigation. No one is sure if this incident is related to Jena Six as some seem to feel it could also be a prank related to Andrews's football game with Asheboro High School last Friday night.
Regardless of who the culprits are, Andrews school system is vocally adamant that they will not put up with "this type of behavior." "These discriminatory acts will not be tolerated in or against our schools," the school board statement said. "Those found to be responsible for this criminal act will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
1. What a bunch of cowards? Don't hide behind a noose, be man or woman enough to say it face-to-face
