Re: “Condemn racism at game,” Your Turn, Nov. 27:

The situation was at high school basketball game in Marble Falls, where an African American player was taking a free throw. The students in the stands started shouting loud abusive monkey screeches. That young woman will take the hurt and embarrassm­ent those shouts created to her grave.

The real tragedy of the event is that no penalty was called for unsportsma­nlike conduct. The game officials knew that was very wrong but did nothing about it. The school superinten­dent said it was against the school code and was an embarrassm­ent.

What will be the consequenc­es?
