Racism and bullying allegations at high school after noose incident

some peepel who postee here are racial rascals. you know who you ar!

Texasgurl1919- you obviously don't have your facts straight as this is still continuing from when it all first started not something new. And No one care anymore about that family..... well your are exactly the proof of why these kids are going through so much hell and had to be removed from a school they once loved. Maybe you should GROW UP and stop being such a racist yourself and see this world has moved on from this BS.

This family is full of bullies. They are friends with teachers and Mrs. Lopez so everything that they do is pushed aside and forgotten about. They act like they are amazing people but in reality they start a lot of drama and all the student in this school know it. I'm not saying that the situation that occured shouldn't be delt with,but the kids have all been taken out of this school so why are they still going to board meeting and everything else that Marion has. Marion High School is an amazing school with amazing teachers and students (minus some). The drama this past year was triggerd by this and it made Marion a hell hole. But us students ignored it.. we ignored all the drama like the noose incident. They didn't get what they wanted so now they are starting it over again. JUST STOP! NO ONE CARES ANYMORE ABOUT THAT FAMILY OR WHAT HAPPENED!

When someone decides to go on a shooting rampage in Good ol Marion tx I hope they dont wonder "why that colored feller would do this" Actions do speak louder than words, or a bullet which ever come first.....

Marion is a good community it has its flaws but when people get accuse they are being bullied and truely they are the bully its not right at all! Marion does great in FFA and sports but doesn't get recognized for it. This issue happened in February and bring back up again. A lot has happened through that time frame that made other students accused by false aligations. The princepal is also wrong in telling the students who were being bullied by the bully that to ignore it and stay away from the person. So honestly they don't need to look at just these kids look at the other students as well we can all tell you the same thing. Just cause they are "star athletes" doesn't mean much just cause you are doesn't give you the right to bring others down with you!!!

Just let them continue their ra-shist ways and one day, just when they need a chicken plucked or some cotton picked, they'll be SOL!

People just need to STOP with this racist, prejudice CRAP! There isn't one person better than another! Treat people with respect, you get respect!

Attn bulldog1 we could all pretend it's rainbows and the sun is shining, but ignoring and not holding people accountable for their actions is not acceptable. I know for a fact that racism starts at the top and works it's way all the way down to the kinds of the community. If you don't believe me ask Marion High School Principle about her views on blacks in the community, oh, you will need to have her hooked up to some type of lie detector when she answers. There is no longer any tolerence for this type of behaviour from adults or children. Many of theses beliefs are learned in the homes. I do know the family invovled with this particular incedent, and they are all high achieving individuals, both parents work, the children are all involved in competitive sports(softball,basketball,track,cheerleading) my point is this family is a familiy of winners, quality addition to any community. It is our duty as Americans to see to it that they are protected and are able to have all the opportunities that any other person has without being prejudiced...

Marion has some great qualities that are often overlooked for stories like this Not that this story doesn't deserve coverage, but rather that it's one-sided and Marion is always the bad guy. I'm from here as is my entire family. It has changed though, and not for the better like the surrounding small towns in our area. We remain stuck in the perspective that "if it worked for me, it's good enough for my kids and grandkids." We have to move out of this mentally and into the 21st century. Upgrades need to be done, community unity is needed, our kids need to be pushed to succeed. We need to need be willing to accept outsiders and the new perspectives they bring. Our minds need to be opened to new ideas that are a little out of box and the community/school needs to be willing to consider them. If we focused more on modernizing our ideas (not our town..don't want strip malls any time soon), we wouldn't need to be worried about issues that date back 100+ years....like racism... because we'd be better than that. A lot of things need to change before things start falling into place. Let's respect our heritage but also start working on improving the future of our kids here. Let's focus on all that's good in our little town, embrace those that are striving to make it a better place, and unite as a community to bring Marion back in the news as a good place to live and a good place for our kids to get an education.

I lived in Marion for over 6 years, leaving that town was the best thing we did. That town and school has extreme arrogance and prejudice.
