In April 2024, a white student at Knysna High School in South Africa used a deeply hurtful racial slur against Black classmates, sparking widespread shock and sadness. This painful moment reminded everyone that racism still lingers, even years after apartheid ended. The school acted quickly with investigations, counseling, and efforts to teach respect and understanding. The incident opened up important talks about race, history, and hope for a future where all students feel safe and valued. It showed that healing takes time but is possible when a community comes together to learn and grow.
