(AP) -- SIMPSONVILLE, S.C. (AP) - Security has been increased at a Simpsonville middle school after a student was arrested and suspended for wearing a T-shirt with a noose and a reference to the Ku Klux Klan.
Greenville television station WYFF says some students at Bryson Middle School stayed home Friday, fearing violence after the T-shirt worn by an eighth-grader angered both black and white students the day before.
The student lifted another shirt revealing the racist T-shirt in the lunchroom.
The student has been charged with disturbing school and recommended for expulsion.
Police say rumors are spreading at the school and on the Internet about possible violence over the shirt
