Angela Luckey, president of Grand Prairie NAACP, said the video, which includes multiple John Dubiski Career High School students using the N-word in a classroom, is part of a culture of racism at the campus.
“There is no excuse for the poor behavior of the students captured on video recently at Dubiski Career High School,” the statement read. “It saddened and offended us all. It also served as a bold reminder our work toward ending racism in our schools, and our communities, must be ongoing.” Amaia Davis, who is a freshman at Dubiski High School, said during the press conference that she had attended multiple Grand Prairie ISD schools.Davis said she had an easy time “harmonizing” with her peers and found common interests. When she started attending Dubiski High School, Davis said she noticed that students at the school seemed “separated.” She also said she thinks there is a lack of security at the school campus.
Davis’ mother Shavsha, who also spoke at the press conference, said she and her husband have considered taking her daughter out of the district. She said the family fears there will be retaliation against her daughter for speaking out.
