Wisconsin school officials investigate offensive taunts

A Wisconsin school district says it’s investigating racist taunts directed at female high school soccer players during a recent game.

Beloit Memorial coach Brian Denu says a small group of Elkhorn students taunted minority players from Beloit with racial slurs and chants such as “Donald Trump, build that wall.”

Denu tells WISC-TV (http://bit.ly/1S3cotT ) that the insults caused some of his players to leave the game last Thursday night. He says it may have come from a small number of students, but it made a big impact.

Elkhorn district administrator Jason Tadlock says officials have confirmed some students on the sidelines were yelling offensive comments and that the matter is being investigated.
