A segment on Thursday morning during the Fox News program "Fox & Friends" featured an all-white panel demanding an "apology" from a school district in Virginia for a Black History Month event about police brutality.
The guests identified as only as Charles and Rebecca, the parents of an 8-year-old in Virginia's Orange County Public Schools district offered an account of the event and its aftermath. Charles was described as a deputy sheriff.
"Everywhere that we looked were students, high school students, wearing shirts that said 'Black Lives Matter, I Can't Breathe.'" Rebecca told host Elisabeth Hasselbeck. "As I was flipping through my program, it had 'Hands Up, Don't Shoot.'"
"I texted my husband and said, 'I don't know about this.'" Rebecca said. "He replied that I should pull our daughter and come home."
Rebecca said she decided to let her daughter stay at the event, where the girl was scheduled to sing with a choir. But then, she recalled, "Students started coming out on stage saying things like, 'I'm from Ferguson, Missouri. I was told to put my hands up. I did and I was shot seven times. My name is Michael Brown.'"
