Instances of racist remarks and bullying contradict our values, and we have zero tolerance for such behavior."A local mother said her complaints to Friendswood ISD went unheard after her son received racist messages and threats for months.
"It used the 'N word' like spelled it out with ‘er’ at the end," Gary said. "They told him, ‘We don’t want your drug money.’ They sent an emoji of a black kid, a little black boy, with a gun, the water gun, to the head with police to the side of it. And I was told this morning that that was not an official threat."I'm sorry, but a little gun emoji to a kid's head?" she continued. "I kind of don’t take that lightly.
"Something has to be done," Gary said. "It’s only going to get worse. It’s not going to get better. And my son has to continue going to school with these kids?" "While I do not have all the information regarding this specific incident, I assure you that our district takes such allegations very seriously, and we maintain a strong stance against bullying and racist remarks.
