The fact he was just expelled and not suspended says a lot about the school.
“I just had no words when I saw it. I was so confused,” Jamar Medor said.

By that afternoon, the 16-year-old student who sent the post was arrested, charged with breach of peace and racial harassment.
The district sent letters to parents. Medor’s mother says the student was suspended for 10 days, but she’s demanding expulsion.
Only 3% of the kids in the school are black.
Medor said he never experienced racism before, but now he feels uncomfortable going to the school.
