Years of blatant racism at Eagle High School in Idaho have brought two families to the brink. After school administrators allegedly ignored “countless” complaints and video evidence of racial harassment, the father of two of the victims is planning a lawsuit against the district.
He recently took their ordeal public in the hopes of helping other students.
Bella Cameron, Jaedynn Hodge, and Jaedynn’s unnamed little sister say they endured a barrage of shocking and unapologetic racist harassment at Eagle High School in western Idaho, just outside of Boise.
Two of the girls spoke with KTVB7 about being persistently targeted with racial slurs by other students — sometimes in front of teachers who allegedly did nothing about it. They said when students discovered they complained, they would suffer further bullying.
“There isn’t a lot of people of color at our school,” Jaedynn explained . “I don’t think we’re the only ones who have ever experienced it. I think we’re the only ones who have really been able to speak up and are willing to speak up,” said Bella, who eventually switched to online classes for her safety. According to her LinkedIn, she is now a freshman at Boise State University, along with Jaedynn.
