In the post, a poster reads, 'If I was black I'd be picking cotton, but I'm white so I'm picking U for prom?'

BELLVILLE, Ohio – A prom proposal by an Ohio student has prompted widespread condemnation and backlash after a photo of him holding a poster with a racist statement was circulated on Facebook.

The student, who was not identified, has been"spoken to," according to a statement from Clear Fork Valley Local Schools Superintendent Janice Wyckoff. Wyckoff said the type of speech displayed on the poster board is inappropriate, regardless of the occasion, and the student, who lives in the district but goes to another school, will not be attending Clear Fork High School's prom.

"Our student body should not be defined by a single act of a student, who did not think his action through. This is a teachable moment for this student in particular and for all students."It's not clear if he faces disciplinary action.

Such a horribly written article... This is bad I hope the culprit get caught soon Unless there is an epidemic of a rapidly fatal bleeding disease, 1 bleeding body should arouse suspicion in the police. It shouldn’t take 4 such bodies to make the ‘police suspect foul play’.
