At Shawnee Mission East High School in recent days, a Black, female student, Brey’Anna Brown, was brutalized by a white, male student who was shouting the N-word and shoved Brown which led to the physical altercation. Brown was suspended for five days which is being criticized by the community and students since they were defending themself.
The incident was unprovoked and caused an uprise in school protests. Parents, students, and others in the community have been protesting against this injustice. The racist tendencies of the school have been brought to light and the situation doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon.
