Two Volcano Vista High School students could be facing hate crime charges after a picture was posted on social media. Both parents and staff say it’s appalling.
It shows two African American high school students in a Volcano Vista classroom, surrounded by students in KKK hoods.
The picture quickly spread through social media after the Albuquerque Public Schools Superintendent says two high school juniors posted it on the Snapchat app Tuesday.
“This is not acceptable,” said Superintendent Raquel Reedy.
Volcano Vista Principal Vicki Bannerman says the image was brought to her attention by a student minutes after it was posted.
“A friend of her’s on campus made her aware of a picture that was posted in a Snapchat group and as soon as she was aware, she came to me,” said Bannerman.
