Description

CBS Pittsburgh February 17, 2022 Winchester School students involved in a Snapchat video that mocked the death of George Floyd have been dismissed. In a letter sent to families, the school said, "the students directly involved in the recent diversity, equity, and inclusion violation are no longer members of our community." Last week, students called on the school leadership to do more when the video surfaced, saying the school was more interested in protecting its image.
