High School Student May Face Expulson For Speaking to Media About Racist Activity Within School

A William Blount High School student was supended and may soon be expelled for speaking to the press about the racial tension that lurks through the halls of the high school, said ZeroIntelligence.net.

Bridget O'Neill, a junior at the school-located in Tennessee-has to deal with an expulsion hearing this Thursday because she told the media that she has seen one of her classmates make a racial sign. Why? Well, the school says that she was "disrupting the classroom and providing false information about the sign."

Here's what went down when the student was told by Principal Christy Martin about her suspension:

"She was screaming at her she was stupid," says Bridget's mother, Diane O'Neill. "They threatened to expel her for the rest of the year because she wouldn't give the name. Then she threatened to call the police. And she was like, 'why?' She said, 'Well, I'm going to have you arrested for standing in the way of justice.'"
