MONROE – A white Monroe High School student has been expelled after allegedly waving a noose at a black student, one of three racial incidents at the school in a little more than a month, officials said Monday.
“We are taking this very seriously. We don’t have any tolerance for this in our high school,” district spokeswoman Rosemary O’Neil said.
The black student told school officials that a length of rope tied into a noose was waved at him in the school’s parking lot a week and a half ago, O’Neil said.
