A middle school classroom in Long Island, NY is being investigated after a picture of nooses were labeled “back to school necklaces” and placed on display in the classroom.
Arthur Mackey Jr., a pastor at Mount Sinai Baptist Church Cathedral in Roosevelt, said he received the image — which is part of a larger collage reportedly displayed in a classroom — from a teacher in the school system. He posted it on Facebook and called on the school district to take action.
