This should NEVER happen to anyone.
A young Black boy, often bullied at Haggard Middle School in Plano, north of Dallas, was invited to a sleepover party by a new friend. Once there, he found he had been invited solely to provide entertainment --as the target of unspeakably cruel bullying by a group of white boys.
SeMarion Humphrey, 13, was forced to drink the urine of another boy while being videotaped, amid laughter from other students at the party. The vicious child who took the video then sent it to several people at their school.
Later that night, SeMarion was shot with a BB gun and subjected to racial slurs.
Plano Independent School District is "investigating," it says.
Sure it is. A year ago, at another Plano middle school, a Black sixth-grade girl who was a cancer patient -- a cancer patient! -- was chased around the gym by a girl she thought was her friend.
The friend pulled A'Myah Moon's wig off in front of all the other students there and called her derogatory names.
After the incident, A'Myah, 11, locked herself in a bathroom, cried until she felt dizzy, and left.
"I just want to leave school forever, and don’t want to have no friends, no more," she said later.
The school district's comment said, "While we cannot discuss disciplinary measures as it relates to a specific student ...." If the school or the district did anything, it didn't make the news.
M'yah found her footing again after a number of empathetic people worked to boost her spirits.
As for the Humphreys, they have put SeMarion into a private school.
I hope that they sue Plano ISD for millions of dollars and win. That may be the only way to wreak change in this wretched, godforsaken annex of hell.
