Attendance down, security up at Gray's Creek High after racially charged photos circulate
There will be extra security Friday at Gray's Creek High School after a series of photos with threatening and racial overtones circulated on social media.
Posted — UpdatedPhotos shared with WRAL News included a student wearing a Confederate flag as a cape and a bracelet with an obscenity before the words "black lives matter."
A spokeswoman for Cumberland County schools said the principal was aware of the images, but that school leaders "have not confirmed that these photos are specifically related to the school."
Several parents shared on social media that they planned to keep students home amid rumors of a protest, and parents were present at the school Friday morning picking up their children as the rumors swirled.
