Cyber bullying

BHS made national news in April 2010 when an incident involving hate speech escalated between a Beecher student on the baseball team and a Crete-Monee High School and Peotone High School team member. According to The Huffington Post,

"A racist and threatening Facebook exchange between high school baseball players has some wondering why a threat to lynch another person is not being taken more seriously by two Illinois schools. Crete-Monee High School honor student and pitcher Jihad Yousef was stunned the day after playing a double header against Beecher, when he checked his Facebook page and found a disturbing message from a Peotone player, according to Phil Arvia of the Southtown Star."[6]
