4 San Antonio Wagner HS students disciplined after 'Black Lives Matter' demonstration at fashion sho
SAN ANTONIO — Four Wagner High School students say they were suspended for a demonstration at a school-sponsored fashion show Thursday in which they carried signs donning phrases such as "Black Lives Matter."
Students Jocelyn Thomas, Daija Wilkes, Victoria Hall and Teylor Nelson participated in the fashion show, which took place Thursday night at Rolling Oaks Mall, as either models, designers or both.
During the event, the students sauntered down the catwalk holding signs unapproved by officials reading “BLACK LIVES MATTER,” “WE CAN’T BREATHE” and “ I AM Mike Brown, Marquise Jones, Aiyana Jones, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner” and “TRANS LIVES MATTER.”
Thomas, a senior, said the school's principal Donald Stewart handed down four-day suspensions to the students in a meeting on Friday.
