A predominantly white school shouts racist chants at visiting team from multicultural area

STUDENTS from a predominantly white US school subjected a visiting boys’ basketball team to racist chanting, faculty officials revealed today.

The chants and slogans at the January 19 game at Spencer High School, north-west Iowa, included some fans yelling that the Storm Lake players should “go back where you came from.” Other students chanted: “USA.”

The school superintendents say the Storm Lake district has 2,400 students, 84 per cent of whom are non-white. The Spencer district has 1,900 students and is predominantly white.
