A group of Texas high school students are facing reprimand after leaving a racist message in their pancakes after waited on by a black server.
KXII-TV 12 reports that Tenasha Ballard served a group of Bells High School students at a Sherman County IHOP. When she returned to their table after they left to clean up, she noticed their pancakes had been cut into the letters KKK.
The teens were identified by their letterman jackets.
Bells ISD superintendent Joe Moore issued KXII-TV 12 the following statement:
“We regret this action was taken by our students. It is in no way reflective of BISD nor the community of Bells. As I understand, it took place at 2:30 a.m. and it was not a school-related event nor were the students under BISD supervision in any way. In addition, it is worth noting BISD students are awarded letterman jackets for participation in numerous organizations, not just athletics. Again, we regret this occurred and wish Ms. Ballard the very best.”
The four students involved reportedly stepped forward and are “in the works” of apologizing not only to Ballard but to the rest of the Sherman IHOP Staff and their fellow students. No word on any disciplinary action at this time.
