8:59Now PlayingA seven-second video of students reenacting the death of George Floyd at a Louisiana High School during Homecoming activities is circulating on social media.
This occurred earlier this week at Rosepine High School. The student on the floor is reportedly black. And teachers were watching this take place.
Principal Joey Bartz posted this statement on Facebook Thursday.
"We are aware of a video that was posted on social media yesterday showing a group of our students reenacting a very serious and heartbreaking event. The disheartening, unfortunate display was not part of what Rosepine High School had planned during its homecoming activities but was enacted by a few students. In no way is this acceptable, nor does it keep with the heart and spirit of what we teach and preach daily. The school is working with all parties involved, including their parents/guardians. We will work tirelessly to educate our students on better choices. After the punitive actions are taken, all we can do is hope and pray that we can learn from the mistakes made and become better human beings. Again, we are deeply sorry for the pain that this has caused and we know words are never enough, so we will vow to strive to become better through our future actions. With a broken heart, J. Bartz."
We contacted Bartz and the Vernon Parish School Board to invite them to the show. We did not get a response.
