The nooses were found at Haven Middle School in Evanston after students staged a sit-in to protest the district's decision to transfer some teachers.
"I don't blame any of the Black kids who don't want to come back to this school because something needs to be done!" said Shaunique Shelton, parent of a 7th grader.
In the midst of the protest, three nooses were hung on the tree above a memorial for a teacher. Parents believe the act is sending a clear and hateful message to the administration at the school. "That's the terrifying part, right?" District 65 parent Sara Carlson said."These children are in middle school, and they're not seeing consequences for actions."
Unfortunately, this incident took an upsetting turn this afternoon. Kingsley parents who were at the school reported finding three nooses hanging from trees in between Haven and Kingsley Elementary along with notes in support of Haven educators. District administrators and the Evanston Police Department were contacted. It was further reported that Haven students were seen allegedly chanting and carrying ropes to the location where the nooses were found.
