They use that to hang African-American people — that’s what they do — and kill them,” parent Tierra Harris explained to her daughter, according to KABC. “They still do it to this day. I don’t want you going here because I don’t want you to feel like that.” “It hurts. It absolutely hurts me to the core. It’s disgusting and I’m outraged, and I want to see some action and not just administrative leave,” parent Breyan Clemmons said about pulling her child out of the school. “We think that we’re sending them to a school; they’re safe. Never do we think we’re sending them to a plantation where they got nooses hanging up, and holding on to nooses,” she told the Antelope Valley Press. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP The superintendent of the Palmdale School District issued a statement on Facebook, which read in part: “I am appalled that this incident occurred … I am committed to the Palmdale Promise’s values of equity, integrity, and multiculturalism, and I know that most of the district believe[s] in the same values the Promise upholds.”

    Ever heard of the game, clue?
    Well in the game clue is a noose as a clue to find.
    Some say they were playing a real life game of clue as they said “room 223, score”

    Another one is that they’re recently been planning to go on a fishing trip, and nooses actually help to fish and one of the teachers(on right) couldn’t tie a noose. When she finally got it, they took a picture of it
