MANASSAS, Va. (AP) — Four Virginia students accused of arranging pieces of sod into racist symbols will appeal their school district's punishment at a disciplinary hearing.
Six Stonewall Jackson High School Students were suspended for using the sod to form a swastika and spell out "KKK" in a parking lot at Sinclair Elementary School in August. Prince William County Police say four students were charged with vandalism.
School board members will decide Wednesday whether to follow a recommendation that the students be expelled for the rest of the year.
Rae Roach, mother of two of the students, calls the punishment "unjust." She says her sons and the other teens had completed a court-ordered program that included community service and visiting the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
