OAKLAND — Racist images depicting a re-enactment of the murder of George Floyd on the campus of an East Oakland private Catholic school have been circulated widely by students in recent weeks, prompting officials to investigate.
Screenshots of the images were shared with this news organization by students of Bishop O’Dowd, a prep school nestled in deep East Oakland that costs about $24,000 in yearly tuition and is known for its athletics. On Friday, the office of school Principal Doug Evans did not provide the enrollment status of the kneeling student or confirm whether he had faced discipline.
“Yesterday, a student chose to post the photo on social media, rather than bringing the issue to any administrators or trusted adults, causing major harm in our community and deeply hurting many of our students,” the newsletter states. The principal’s office did not respond to questions about the students’ frustrations, saying the Wednesday memo would be the “extent of the public information released on the matter.”
“O’Dowd students do not tolerate this blatant and disgusting act of disrespect!!” declares another. “George Floyd’s death is not made to be a mockery.”
