    Four Chicago high-school students posted a video in blackface on Sunday, April 29, and now one parent of a student involved is defending her son.

    What We Know…

    • Four Homewood-Flossmoor High School students posted a video of them harassing Black employees at a McDonald’s drive-through in blackface.
    • One involved student’s parent claims her son did not know what blackface was when he posted the video, explaining that her son was ignorant, not racist.
    • Students staged a walk-out on Tuesday after the video was posted. Many students at the school, which is majority black, feel the school did not respond appropriately to the video.
    • The school released a statement that says this kind of behavior will not be condoned but have not yet commented on what punitive measures will be taken.
    • While the school has met with the students in the video, many students and parents want administrators to meet with the community as well to fully understand the severity of the video.
    • The Homewood and Flossmoor mayors have also released a statement acknowledging the video emphasizing that the communities at large do not condone this racist behavior.

    The school supported the student walk-out and says they will hold a community-wide discussion about race in the near future.
