And when it happened, I always got razzed about it. It wasn’t often our Gridley fire station worked a blaze alongside Pa’s station, which was in Oroville. His voice was all neutral, but I heard the implication. “Who’s pulling us out? Was that your dad, Donny?” asked Jordy. The haze of smoke that’d been there when we’d come down was now thick and the dark tan color of burning wood.
Tall pine trees towered on both sides of the power-line break we followed. The grass was brown thanks to a dry California spring. Walking up a steep hill with all my gear, axe, and pack would have been a good workout if I wasn’t already trashed from busting ass on the fire line for the past two hours. “Did it jump?” Brian asked through our headsets. We abandoned the work we’d been doing to establish a fire line to the west of the outermost houses of Sierra City and headed back up the steep hill where we’d come down. It was freakishly hot today-in the high 80s in fucking March thanks to another heat inversion, or heat bomb, or whatever the talking heads were calling it these days. I straightened up, sweat dripping down my face and blurring the lenses of my goggles. One student said she was asked if she was drinking from the right water fountain and then was told the fountain was only for whites, the newspaper reported.The barking voice was my father’s, and it came over the speaker in my SCBA helmet as I hacked at the foundation of a dead bush with an axe. Last month, parents and students told the Saucon Valley School Board about several other racist incidents. The students' names haven't been released. She called the white student's behaviour "incredibly vile." The Saucon Valley School District investigated the incident and "handled it very appropriately," schools Superintendent Monica McHale-Small told The Morning Call newspaper of Allentown. Morganelli opened the probe on Wednesday after an attorney for the black student showed him the video. Lower Saucon police charged the black student with assault and other offences the charges are pending in juvenile court. The teenager recorded a 16-year-old black boy eating chicken wings and in narrating the video called the older boy the N-word and made references to "being broke and on welfare," said Morganelli, who called the video "reprehensible" and "repulsive."Īfter seeing the video on social media, the black student attacked the white student at a football game, Morganelli said.
Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli said he's considering ethnic intimidation and harassment charges against a 14-year-old white student at Saucon Valley High School. A teenager accused of producing a racist video of a black classmate eating chicken and posting it online could face criminal charges, a prosecutor said Wednesday.
