Anne Arundel police investigate Confederate Lives Matter harassment of Southern student
Anne Arundel police launched an investigation Friday into complaints that a group of students at Southern High School harassed another student by posting threatening language on social media posts under the name Confederate Lives Matter.
After being asked by The Capital about messages posted on Snapchat with obscene and violent language aimed at a transgender student, police contacted the student’s family, and Principal Kathryn Feuerherd sent an email about the incident to students and their families.
“I want to be very clear that we have taken — and continue to take — this issue very seriously,” Feuerherd wrote. “These posts do not reflect the values of character and integrity we hold for our school and greater school community.”
The father of the student, who The Capital is not identifying because of the nature of the harassment, said until late Friday he hadn’t heard from schools or police since filing a complaint Nov. 2.
