An elementary school student is the latest Wythe County student facing suspension as the result of a racially motivated incident.
Officials confirmed a white student at Scott Memorial Elementary School was suspended for tying his jacket drawstring into a knot which resembled a noose.
The same type of incident happened one day earlier at George Wythe High School.
Some black students were outraged over that behavior and several two-day suspensions were levied against white students.
Then the problem seemed to intensify yesterday, when a hate message was spray painted on the road leading up to the High School.
But NEWS-7 spoke to several white students this afternoon, they said the racism problem is being blown out of proportion.
