4:31Now PlayingAfter facing racial attacks from fellow students, an Indiana mother pulls her child out of school.
Gabby Portis, an International school of Indiana student, says she was sent a photo of a white hand holding a bouquet of stemmed cotton balls with a caption that read, "when you ask a Black girl to prom."
However, the teen claims this isn't the first time she's been subject to racial abuse. Her mother says the school offered her child counseling.
Here's what Elizabeth Head, the head of school, said about the issue.
"The International School of Indiana (ISI) is an inclusive, diverse, and respectful community ISI does not tolerate racial intolerance or other discriminatory conduct and takes reports of such alleged misconduct very seriously. Such reports are investigated promptly and thoroughly in order to gain a complete understanding of what allegedly happened. After investigating, ISI takes firm and appropriate steps to remedy and address any misbehavior. The nature of those steps depends upon the severity of what occurred, as ISI's policy is that matters concerning students are confidential, the school is unable to provide details of specific situations."
Portis wanted to complete the remaining year through the school's virtual learning courses until her transfer was finalized. The administration denied the request because the reason was not Covid-related.
