Letter: In the Wake of Another Racist Incident Involving Wilton HS, One Student says School Officials Need to Do More
On Tuesday morning, April 23, a video started making the rounds among students at Wilton High School. That video showed about one minute of texts messages allegedly exchanged between a group of Wilton students on a social media platform. Many of the texts were racist hate speech and used bullying language, all seemingly directed at primarily one specific student. News about the video spread quickly among the students and the video was widely shared. The letter below was submitted by Poppy Herve, a WHS senior who said she was so angered after watching the video that she was motivated to speak out publicly, and that she couldn’t stay silent or do nothing. GOOD Morning Wilton has verified the existence of the video and has also included a message WHS Principal Dr. Robert O’Donnell sent to the school community acknowledging an incident and noting that school officials are conducting an investigation. [Disclosure: the author of the letter below is the daughter of GMW’s editor/publisher.]
