Per reports, the viral picture of a group of white students in ‘unusual’ t-shirts has sparked controversy in a school district. In the Snapchat picture, several students wearing the white shirts are seen standing in front of various trucks and/or truck-like vehicles. According to the anonymous commenters, the behavior was an unfortunate reflection of the predominant beliefs in the predominantly white and Christian town. According to one source, attempting to go against the grain is allegedly often met with attempted bullying.
Students from the tiny high school wore “White Lives Matter” shirts (SEE PHOTO) to their last day of classes, according to a Snapchat, as well as interviews with community members. And the school allegedly hasn’t addressed the students’ behavior in any meaningful way.
Reporter Ferdowsi featured comments from a number of anonymous community members who claimed that the individuals in the picture are students from M0ntgomery Area High School. According to VICE News, the students were seniors, and the picture had been taken on the last day of classes for the year.
School representatives have yet to issue a statement addressing the picture. In an open letter, a concerned citizen talked about the photo and called for a public apology. “I’m horrified for the targeted students, staff, and those that attend that do not align with such bigotry,” the letter read.
