Supporters start petition to reinstate Smoky Hill High School student expelled after fight
Spread The Viralist



Supporters of Amiir Horton, a former Smoky Hill High School student who was expelled following a school fight, created a petition calling on the Cherry Creek School District to allow the teen to re-enroll in public school. “My goal with the petition is really to get the word out and see how many other families who have been affected by this and see if we can really hold Cherry Creek Schools accountable for their actions,” said Christian Caldwell, Horton’s uncle and president of My Brother’s and Sister’s Keeper Colorado. Caldwell said Horton’s expulsion stems from a 40-second fight. Video of the fight reveals Horton, 16, hit another male student first. “It was a verbal fight, more than an actual fight. But you know, he was saying that he didn’t like me and whatnot. And I didn’t really care because not everybody’s gonna like you. But he kept saying it as if he wanted to get under my skin. And eventually it did, which led me to confront him about it, asking him if he had an actual problem with me or not. And from there is when it led up to us having a fight,” Horton said. Horton admits he threw the first punch and said he is remorseful.

  1. They get expelled because they are violent with a complete absence of impulse control. Yes, it is also to do with colour too, as the sundry administrations know that the coloured kids are the ones to watch out for.

  2. He threw the first punch…keep him out of school..!
    And baby-momma needs to keep it real and stop supporting his lies…
