Black Students Harassed by Peers During Election Week at Beverly Hills High

https://westsidevoicela.com/2024/11/black-students-harassed-by-peers-during-election-week-at-beverly-hills-high/

Post-election Trump rallies at Beverly Hills High School (BHHS) have prompted students and staff to speak out about the bigoted speech, targeted harassment, and racist abuse they have experienced on campus.

During the week of the election, students wearing MAGA merch and carrying Trump flags marched through school hallways and mobbed common areas, screaming and jumping together. They chanted “F— Kamala” – one student can be seen on video celebrating that Trump will “deport all Mexicans,” imitating the racist rhetoric that has typified this election season.

On November 12, BHHS Black students and staff reported to the Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) Board of Education that they had been subject to hate speech and threatening behavior by pro-Trump students following the election.

Bella Ivory, a fashion teacher and administrator of the Black Student Union (BSU), said a large group of pro-Trump students intimidated her and BSU members at school, banging on her classroom door and trying to get inside. Her students panicked and begged her to not open the door, fearing what the students outside would do to them.

Proves that the felon voters are overwhelmingly rich, racist, misogynist and violent haters.

Make no more excuses about the darn cost of eggs.

Now, 'It's the hate, vermin!'
I'm afraid to imagine what level of violence it will take, to shock these people into rejecting their hatred.
