Racial Slurs Painted on Player's House

Isaac Phillips is a 13 year old playing for the Blue Knights football team for Lunenburg High. 

There were racial slurs spray painted on his house from fellow team mates, who have also been tormenting him. 

His mother is white and his father is black and on the house they spray painted, "Knights don't need the n word." 

Because of this the football team has cancelled the rest of their season since there's an on going investigation. 

Being from Hoover, which is such a diverse school, I couldn't imagine any of us doing this. We are truly a family. For this small town, not far from Boston, to do this to a fellow team mate is horrible. 

You want to represent your school and be proud of it. Your team should be a family. This is unacceptable. It's 2013, why are we still being racist?
