Clinton High School students stage walk-out; officer's confrontation with Black student was a breaki
A student led walk-out at Clinton High School happened today following a confrontation between a Black student and a deputy in Anderson Co. Sheriff's Office. Clinton students called what happened Friday a "breaking point."
"It was just the final nail in the block of wood that split it. We were tired of everything that was happening. But it does play a big part because it shows to a more of a public eye what goes on," said Cashus Arnes, a student at Clinton HS.
The details of exactly what took place Friday are unclear but video on social media shows a confrontation between an officer and a Black student. At one point, the video shows that student on the ground. The sheriff's office says they're investigating
"As a student body, we see that we have recognized that equality is the only thing that we will stand for. And today made us have a little bit of a breakthrough on to how to get towards walking to equality," Arnes says.
The district says they support and are proud of their students, saying this is what education is about.
