Dublin player hears racial language from SRV student section while shooting free throws.
A Dublin High boys basketball player was subjected to racial language from some students in the San Ramon Valley student section while shooting a free throw at a game Tuesday night in Danville.
San Ramon Valley principal Whitney Cottrell and her administrative team condemned the behavior, calling it extremely disappointing, and said the students will be held accountable. In an email to SRV parents on Wednesday night, Cottrell wrote, “I want to be clear that in no uncertain terms, racist language or racial slurs will not be tolerated, whether our students are in school or elsewhere. We are all responsible for creating safe and welcoming spaces both at SRV and when we are guests at other schools.
“This is something that shouldn’t be taken lightly or dismissed,” the father wrote, citing previous incidents at Danville schools. “We believe there should be more PUBLIC awareness/story about this matter in order to really make a change.” In her email to SRV parents, Cottrell added, “We all have a role to play in combating bias and bullying, and interrupting acts of hate, and I expect every single one of our students to be committed to being upstanders. The physical and emotional safety of our staff and students is our greatest responsibility and our highest priority, and we will always be transparent about incidents like this.
