“A Texas high school coach allegedly told black players that he would hang them by their toes from a tree if they didn’t behave, among other racially charged comments revealed in newly released documents.
Todd Campbell, an assistant football coach at Centennial High School in Frisco, resigned in January after approximately 50 parents and other community members met with principal Randy Spain voicing their concerns that Campbell made racist comments to his black and Latino students. Documents obtained by The Dallas Morning News on Tuesday detail the allegations.
“You need to be quiet,” Campbell allegedly told a group of students, according to the documents. “You see that rope over there, you see that tree back there? I’m going to hang you in that tree. I’m going to hang you by your toes.”
