Comal Independent School District is investigating after Canyon High School students allegedly made “highly inappropriate and demeaning racial comments” during a volleyball game Friday night.
A parent of a Hays High School student, Jennifer Price, shared a post to Facebook Friday night describing the incident and stating that Canyon High School students yelled the N-word at her daughters during their volleyball game.
“Tonight our Hays volleyball girls played Canyon HS where the front row of Canyon’s student section yelled the N-word at my daughters and a few more teammates throughout the match, SO MANY TIMES!!! When my daughter missed her serve, they shouted ‘Make a play Nword-hard R!’ Our coaches told their Admin and all they told the boys was ‘watch your mouths,’” Price said in the post.
Price said nobody was removed from the game and that the students “were allowed to continue to heckle the girls on their way out.”“I want to take this opportunity to address a situation that is currently being circulated on social media. Allegedly, at last night’s volleyball game at Canyon High School, members of the Canyon student section made highly inappropriate and demeaning racial comments towards members of the Hays High School volleyball team,” Epley said.
Richardson, who is African American, and other members of the Duke University Women’s volleyball team were recently heckled at a volleyball match against Brigham Young University.to Twitter on Aug. 28 addressing the incident, which is nearly identical to the incident Price described at Canyon High School.
“Please be assured that we will get to the bottom of this issue and that Comal ISD will not tolerate any racially intolerant behavior,” Epley said.
