A student from the Swanton Local School District created a poster board that said “if I was Black I’d be picking cotton but I’m white so I’m picking u 4 hoco” to ask another student to the upcoming homecoming dance. A spokesperson for the district said it is deeply shocked a student would think the comment was acceptable, and more shocked that a parent would allow their child to make the sign. The district went on to say it has contacted the student’s parents and will speak with the student directly when he returns to school.
