NJ Girl Charged Over Racist Tweet [View all]
A Glassboro High School student has been charged with harassment for a tweet she allegedly posted while sitting in algebra class.
The sophomore girl is accused of taking a picture of two African American students, writing a racist remark, and posting it on twitter.
The tweet was posted for just over a month before being noticed last week. It was first reviewed by a guidance counselor and a school police officer, who then alerted detectives.
NBC10's Monique Braxton showed the tweet to the head of the NAACP in Gloucester County, Loretta Winters. "When I first saw it, my heart just dropped, it was like it skipped a beat, it was horrible."
