Yulee High School Football Controversy Viral Video
Yulee High School is a comprehensive four-year school located in Yulee, Florida. The original school closed in 1965 when Florida desegregated public schools. Following desegregation, students were allowed to choose between attending West Nassau or Fernandina Beach. The current institution opened in 2006, although Yulee had been the site of a high school earlier, from the 1930s to the 1960s. The initial graduating class of Yulee High School, in 2007, had a 71% graduation rate, 23% of whom graduated with honors. The Yulee High School football team showed solidarity for several teammates, who were suspended after a controversial video spread on social media, before Friday night’s homecoming game according to multiple parents who provided the video to News4Jax, the clip had been sent to a group of Black students at Yulee High School in Nassau County by one of their classmates. Video obtained showed two players holding white jerseys in the air when the team took the field. It’s the gear of two of their teammates who were suspended. Parents said they were defending themselves after being bullied and targeted because of their race. Melissa Ricks said her son and other black students at Yulee High were sent the video showing students racial slurs. “No one deserves that.
