"When they're in school there is no room for hate, racism and those types of words in school," emphasized Teresa McCready.
 
After taking complaints to the high school vice principal, principal, and superintendent some parents next stop was to the Champion Local School District School Board.
 
Parents complain of a lack of action, being told there are only around ten black students, and that there are some racist kids in the school.
 
Some moms in Champion say the bullying, racial slurs, and making fun of people because of their race has to stop.
 
"I don't think any child should have to be a statistic. I don't think any child should have to apologize for who they are because they're all kids," said Teresa McCready.
 
A mom took her concerns to the school board saying her son has repeatedly been called by a racial slur the N word, then Jew. 
 
"I want something done about it because we do have children in this school who feel less than, and no body should be made to feel less than," Teresa McCready said.
 
"I was told I know Teresa we have some racist kids in our freshman class. That is not acceptable. You guys are in charge of the school. Students are being desensitized ," emphasized McCready.
 
"These are repeated violations of the schools code of conduct. The racial slur wasn't used when I was in school here nor when my grandfather was in school here. It should not be tolerated now. We are only as strong as our weakest link," added McCready.
 
McCready explained that students being bullied can become a statistic by suicide, and students doing the bullying when they go into the world can end up a statistic too with their parents having to bury them due to things they say, and neither is right.

A junior in school said she hears the N word in hallways up to ten times a day she wishes
teachers would not tell her you will have to hear it in the real world.
 
"I would love to see teachers not constantly brush it off and constantly be like oh it's just high school, your going to have to hear it in the real world. Yea but you shouldn't. Especially where people all the time, it shouldn't be normalized at all said," Natalia Rossi. 
 
Rossi told the board a few years ago  some students made an account and posted her face all over Facebook.
 
She is one of ten black kids in the class of 2023. 
 
"They made fun of me and how I look saying black kids have big noses and using stereotypes. It was awful.  Heather Campbell with the school district did an amazing job of helping and took this seriously as if this were her own kid. All I want is for teachers to treat it like it was their kid being called racial slurs, not just someone elses kid," said Rossi.
 
"It is not ok, whether it's said to you every single day, ... it doesn't take away from teh skin you hae, or the way your face looks at all but something should be done about it so you don't feel less about yourself. It's terrible." emphasized Rossi.
 
Her mom Angela Martin explained that this started in the seond grade, and got worse in middle school, and tells WFMJ News her daughter would act like it didn't bother her but it did and she would come home and cry. 
 
"I personally think it starts at home. I think it's disgusting and needs to stop," said Angela Martin. 
 
Gina Swiger begged the school board to do something to stop bullying.
 
She praised the current school resource officers but asked the district to hire more for hallways and outside. 
 
"Kids should not be attacked for either trying to go to class or go to the school bus," said Swiger.
 
The School Board President did saying the board was unaware this has been taking place.
 
"It's hurtful, intolerable, insensitive, and it's plain wrong. It shouldn't be happening in school or anywhere in the community, but if it is happening in our school if they have heard these particular things we are going to address them," said School Board President James Scher. 
 
He said they are willing to review any current reporting procedures, and look at how to better stop this from taking
place. 
 
Parents want a plan of action by the end of the school year.
