According to REVOLT, the mother recorded the students on her cell phone and posted the video on Twitter.

“Hi Friends and Family, sadly my post is not one of celebration,” she wrote in the video’s Twitter caption. “This past Friday my daughter’s Varsity Team Paetow High School (Katy, TX) played against Jordan High School (Katy, TX) and were heckled and harassed with the student section making monkey sounds towards our black and brown daughters.”

The mother, Lakeesha Kemp-Adams, continued sharing the experience in a series of follow-up tweets.

“My daughter’s team literally consists of black and hispanic girls, so you can clearly understand what they were facing,” she said. “Jordan’s Volleyball team literally has one black girl. Our girls were distraught and devastated to have to endure such hatred.”

Adams even shared that administration and school security were notified of the students’ disturbing behavior and “did literally nothing” and “dismissed” them.

She added that she has since emailed “formal complaints” to the school administration, and they have opened an investigation.

Adams went on to share that “mental health is so very important.” And the lack of concern for the “mental state” of the young, Black athlete girls after having to endure such cruel behavior is “disrespectful” and “concerning.”

“We will not let this get swept under the rug and normalized as kids being kids,” she continued. “It’s pure unadulterated racism.”
