Students suspended after posting ‘blackface’ videos

Simsbury school officials are vowing to provide more sensitivity training after two students posted videos in what appeared to be “blackface” earlier this month, according to WTNH. Residents and members of the Greater Hartford NAACP voiced their concerns during an emotional Board of Education meeting Tuesday night. The two students were suspended for a day and the district has formed voluntary small groups of students to discuss the issue in a forum, WTNH said. The school district's superintendent also said they are working with outside agencies to bring in more diversity and equity programming.
