Other WHS students have also shared painful stories of frequent instances of overt racism that have occurred during high school athletics. During a Winooski School District School Board meeting last summer, 2020 graduate Hussein Amuri spoke at school board meetings about being called racist slurs at soccer games throughout his high school experience. Unfortunately, this is an ongoing issue in Vermont High School Athletics. WSD has communicated with Enosburg Falls High School officials and the Vermont Principals Association (VPA) that our athletes were racially abused by three of their players as well as spectators. When the racial abuse by some EFHS players and unsportsmanlike physical conduct by both teams was reported to the referee it was ignored, which resulted in further aggressive and unsportsmanlike play by both teams. This resulted in a physically aggressive and unsafe playing environment for all the student-athletes. The violence is eternalized into the psyche and memory of the person abused by that language.ĭuring last week’s game, WHS players reported not only being repeatedly racially abused but also being kicked and elbowed off the ball and out of view of the two referees.
#VIOLENCE DISTRICT LSD GAME SKIN#
Calling a human being with black skin the N-word is an act of violence equal to if not greater than a physical punch because the racist language directed at one person can affect the individual, their family, and the greater community. Let’s be clear, using racist language and slurs is violent and abusive. In Winooski, we are all tired of seeing our students targeted by this violence and we will continue to fight racism with them. It dehumanizes and perpetuates a “lesser than” attitude toward our students who are some of the most talented, intelligent, and resilient human beings I have ever known. This continued racial violence against Winooski student-athletes makes me sick to my stomach, boils my blood, and needs to stop. This is not the first time EFHS soccer players and spectators have racially abused WHS students. They were called the N-word, monkey, and terrorist.
Reading these unacceptable words may cause you pain, and I feel it is necessary to share what our WHS student-athletes were faced with at their home field, which is supposed to be a safe environment.
