CHARLOTTE — Two students at Charlotte Country Day School will face consequences after video surfaced showing the boys with swastikas painted on their stomachs, the school confirmed.
A viewer shared the video with Channel 9 on Tuesday. In it, two boys were seen laughing and wearing Country Day attire when one lifted his shirt to reveal the symbols of hate.
The school says they “take these types of incidents very seriously and is taking appropriate disciplinary action in all cases.”
Per school policy, the south Charlotte private school said it can not publicly share specifics about the disciplinary action.
In a letter addressed to students, staff and parents, Head of School Dr. Tara Kinsey said, “We recognize that these incidents have caused significant pain, particularly for those who have been directly targeted and for members of our community whose identities have been marginalized. We are deeply saddened by this harm. Every student and every member of our community deserves to be treated with dignity and respect and to feel known, valued, and empowered to belong.”
