'This type of behavior will not be tolerated.' Backlash in Maryland and Illinois after several high school students wear blackface.
Two students at Walt Whitman High School in Maryland posted photos of themselves on social media in blackface and used the"n-word" in describing the picture over the weekend, according to Montgomery County Police.
In a letter sent to parents and students that was posted by a WJLA reporter on social media, Robert Dodd, the principal of Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda said that the image was posted on a private social media account and “was seen by many of our students” and has been “deeply disturbing.” Montgomery County Police tell me they've documented this as a"hate-bias incident." pic.twitter.com/ZLEe38YzXA
