High School student gets harrassed

A Long Island high school students family has filed a $5million dollar civil law suit claiming that their son has been harassed through racial text messages and slurs put on his locker. The family claims that their son who is 1 of 5 African American students among 950 piers has been harassed since last April. They are filing a suit now because they have put in many complaints but the school has done nothing about it. Their son Brian Orr, who is a freshman at Miller Place High, has had graffiti on his locker and has been in fights after his football practices. The family claims that this is causing him a lot of distress to the point where he is forced into the hallway to fight. He is such a young man and should not be faced with this type of abuse. The family is filing the civil law suit in hopes that this will help his son, and other families that may be going through the same problems. For more information on this story click here.
