“#High Schooler Arrested For Allegedly Posting Racist Snapchat About Black Classmate
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Connecticut teenager was arrested and charged with second-degree breach of peace after allegedly calling a classmate a racial slur on Snapchat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

On May 7, the student allegedly shared a photo of a Fairfield Warde High School<\/strong> sophomore Jamar Medor<\/strong> (pictured above) minding his own business in class, along with the disturbing caption, \u201cwhy is there a n***** in my homeroom\u201d and \u201cwhy is he not in chains\u201d.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, Jamar is extremely shaken up over the incident. He told ABC 7<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no words. Like I\u2019m speechless. I\u2019m kind of mad and upset and kind of sad, too\u2026 I just don\u2019t feel comfortable going to school or walking the halls, so I stayed home today actually.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The teen\u2019s mother, Judith Medor<\/strong>, is also speechless \u2014 especially after her younger son, Jake<\/strong>, received a racist video call from students at another school, Fairfield Ludlowe High School<\/strong>, the following weekend, as the snap of Jamar made rounds on social media<\/a>. The frustrated momma told Patch<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what to say, I\u2019m speechless. I have no idea what they\u2019re being taught at home.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The 16-year-old who allegedly took the photo and wrote the racist caption is reportedly facing charges for second-degree breach of peace and ridicule on account of creed, religion, color, denomination, nationality or race.<\/p>\n

The teen was initially just suspended for 10 days, but Medor\u2019s mother demanded an expulsion, as she was worried for her son\u2019s safety. She recalled her reaction after reading a letter from the district about what happ<\/a>ened:<\/p>\n

\u201cI was like\u2026 oh my god. My mouth just dropped because I couldn\u2019t believe it \u2013 how the other student would do something like this regarding my son. I don\u2019t know what he\u2019s going to do to my son. That\u2019s the reason why I\u2019m worried for his safety\u2026 I\u2019m not going to rest until I find justice for my son. I stand against racism, so we\u2019re going to have to do anything in our power to stop it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s absurd that anyone has to fight against such discrimination in this day and age, but Jamar\u2019s mother wasn\u2019t alone. A Care2<\/em> petition to expel the \u201cracist bully\u201d earned 31,403 signatures, and claimed in an update that the student was removed from school after his actions toward Jamar. The update read:<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you so much everyone for signing the petition. We\u2019ve just been informed that Fairfield Warde decided to expel the student who made the post. This would not have been possible without all of your help. So, thank you. Thank you for choosing accountability and thank you for showing the Medor family that Fairfield County cares.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Thank goodness for that. But again, it shouldn\u2019t take this much civil action to properly punish such awfully racist behavior. The worst part is this comes after a year of national attention on the Black Lives Matter movement \u2014 but we guess it goes to show how much work still needs to be done.<\/p>\n
