Six students woke up and chose racial violence when they took pictures holding a racist sign.

Students at Tishomingo High School in Oklahoma stood together holding letters spelling out each letter of the N-word racial slur used to insult people of color, the DailyMail reports.

The students are reportedly facing disciplinary action and the district’s Superintendent Brandon Moreland called the incident, an “extremely poor decision by displaying a disrespectful and very inappropriate racial slur.”

“Racism and discrimination, in any form, will never be tolerated or accepted on our campus and is not reflective of the values of our students, school, or community,” Moreland said. “Our student body and staff include community members from all backgrounds, races, and religions, which is one of many aspects that makes our campus exceptional.”

Since the students took part in the offensive activity, the school’s homecoming game and all related activities were canceled, and security was increased.

“These young men had no fears, hesitations, or consideration for others,” one person wrote on Facebook. “The boldness, the audacity, the recklessness, the stupidity, and the lack of a conscious mind.”

“This is the kind of stuff that keeps hatred moving in the world,” another commenter wrote. “Teach your kids to be respectful.”
