Connecticut student charged in alleged racial slur incident against classmate

A high school student in wealthy Fairfield County, Connecticut, is facing charges for allegedly calling a classmate a racial slur on social media, according to reports.

The student took a photo of Jamar Medor, a 10th grader at Fairfield Warde High School, and posted it to Snapchat writing, “Why is there a n…. in my homeroom? Why is he not in chains?” according to an Eyewitness News report.

“I have no words. Like I’m speechless. I’m kind of mad and upset and kind of sad, too,” Jamar, who lives in the town of Fairfield, told the station about the May 7 incident.

Jamar’s mother, Judith Medor, said her younger son received a racist video call from students at a different school, Fairfield Ludlowe High School, the weekend after the Snapchat post happened.
