Howell students reprimanded for racist Twitter posts after basketball game | Detroit Free Press | freep.com: "HOWELL, MICH. — High school officials in Howell say they’ve reprimanded students involved in posting racist messages on Twitter after the school’s nearly all-white basketball team defeated a team with black and white players.
The Flint Journal reports messages were posted after Howell beat Grand Blanc on Thursday 54-49 in a Class A regional final at Linden High School.
The messages made reference to Howell’s team being white and included a Ku Klux Klan reference.
Howell High School Principal Jason Schrock says the school “responded to each instance and is moving forward.”
The Detroit News and WHMI-FM report the students involved weren’t affiliated with the school’s basketball program.
Howell next plays Tuesday."
