The last two weeks have been a roller coaster ride for parents, teachers and especially students at Pell City High Scool in Alabama.

Last week, a black student sat during the Pledge of Allegiance, supporting the #TakeAKnee movement. This week, tensions continue to mount at the school following a week of racial and political discord, AL.com reports.

Following the student's decision to opt-out of the Pledge of allegiance, she was confronted by a white male classmate. The two exchanged words over her choice to sit out at school. The debate spilled over to social media, where the white student reportedly used profanity against the black student. The white student was suspended.

In response to his suspension, students came to school on Monday, October 2 flying the American flag from their cars. In return, a social media post appeared showing a black student burning the American flag.

Pell City Police Chief Paul Irwin said the burning didn't happen on school grounds, so the school couldn't take any action. However, the police chief said that the student was disciplined by his parents.

The flag burning led to another round of social media posts, which culminated in this threat against the school's black students:

"Attention: All n*ggers in pellcity [sic] we are warning you tomorrow is not a good day to come we are hanging everyone that comes our way tomorrow after school so I advice [sic] all of you to stay away from us or leave pellcity we can't deal with your ass [sic]."

School officials met with Irwin on October 6, with a group of 25 concerned parents in tow.

"There were parents expressing concerns about social media posts and what sparked controversy at the high school last week,'' Irwin stated. "We took all threats seriously, but there have been no incidents at any Pell City School."

Following the meeting Pell City Police released the following statement on their Facebook page:
