Racism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was obvious racism,\u201d said Karl in an interview with WISN 12. \u201cIt was obvious that they were trying to intimidate our boys by making them feel smaller. It was appalling that my kid in the locker room \u2014 the stuff that was written there, the words they were saying, the chanting they were doing, the monkey sounds they were making.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the behavior went beyond the locker room. Some boys from Muskego could be seen standing on the floor in the gym wearing ski masks and Black tank tops in, according to Karl, another attempted display of intimidation and racism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is 2023. They were chanting the N-word and \u2018monkey,\u2019 and they were making monkey noises,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Muskego High School released a statement in response to the incident.<\/p><div id=\"first-3865100807\" class=\"first-content first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream2 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cOn Friday night, Muskego High School hosted a competition against Beloit Memorial High School. Following the game\u2019s conclusion, MHS administration received an email from the Athletic Director of Beloit Memorial indicating concerns regarding the theme of the student section and racist images traced in the dust on top of the gymnasium lockers. We were deeply disappointed and saddened by the information shared. Student safety is our number one priority and we work to ensure students have a positive and rewarding experience while competing in a safe environment. We take allegations of this nature very seriously and immediately began the investigation with the support of the Muskego Police Department. The active investigation continues and includes working with the Beloit administrators, interviewing students, reviewing the recorded event and assessing the school environment. Consequences for inappropriate actions will be prompt. We sincerely apologize for all behaviors that occurred that evening which do not represent the values of Muskego High School or the Muskego-Norway community. Furthermore, we are wholeheartedly dedicated to improving processes that will ensure our commitment of providing an environment that meets the expectations of our community and demonstrates respect for others.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Todd Marks, head basketball coach of Beloit&#8217;s boy&#8217;s team, was justifiably upset and angry with what he saw and heard during the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt just felt like it was all orchestrated. I think that\u2019s what\u2019s so troubling,\u201d said Marks. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t one isolated incident. It was a combination of things that seemed to accumulate to show that many of these events seemed to be planned. And to see our kids have to deal with that, like I said, it\u2019s very heartbreaking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, like coach Marks stated, this isn&#8217;t an isolated event as we&#8217;ve seen <a href=\"https:\/\/firstandpen.com\/staging\/5861\/tag\/high-school-basketball\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a rash of racist incidents at high school games across the country<\/a> from Washington and California to New York<\/p><div id=\"first-2571111494\" class=\"first-content_2 first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream3 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413989195-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413989195-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Authorities are now investigating the incident.
