FL Students Hold Giant Letters Spelling Out N-Word

West Palm Beach’s ABC News affiliate reports:

The Martin County School District is investigating after a photo showing six middle school students spelling out a racial slur was posted on social media. Tuesday afternoon, district officials confirmed the photo was authentic.

They said it was taken by students at Hidden Oaks Middle School in Palm City. Each student in the photo is holding a letter spelling out a common racial slur aimed at the Black community.

Officials said the students made the letters in an art class. “It’s disgusting,” said district spokesperson Jennifer Deshazo. “And it’s against everything that the Martin County School District stands for.”
