As many of you have heard there has been an awful incident involving two students at Severna Park High School, located in Severna Park, MD. This is not the first incident BUT let's fight for it to be the last, at least from this boy and set the appropriate example for what ZERO TOLERANCE really means.

In the video that has been released you can clearly see a boy named [Redacted] threatening a special needs boy. The special needs boy is trying to show his classmate his contact card. 

You can hear [Redacted] saying the following:

"I'm about to beat the shit out of you"

"Yo, F*** you"

"Go bother some other N****r"

You can then hear his friend say "[Redacted] Chill"

[Redacted] Continues...

"Yo, shut the actual F*** up and leave"

"Get the F*** out of here with your little black a*s, f***ing cripple"

"You F***ing Cripple"

"I'm going to put you in an electric chair, March 15th"

"I'm actually going to put this kid in an electric chair and shove dynamite up your a*s"

Severna Park High School claims to have a zero tolerance policy however it is never upheld and incidents like this get swept under the rug. As a former student I witnessed and was a victim of the bullying and threats that come with going to this school. It truly saddens me to see nothing has changed in all of these years.

Suicide High is the nickname for this school and with incidents such as this there is no question as to why. 

[Redacted] NEEDS to be held accountable for his hate speech, discrimination and threats of violence. A suspension is simply not enough. ALL of our children have the right to feel safe and protected in their schools.
