Isabelle waited to see if the coaches who were standing nearby. She thought they would intervene and take action.
However, to her surprise, the coaches did nothing. Hence, she decided to step in.

The coaches said they would handle it, but Isabelle isn’t sure they would.
She added they should have stopped it right away since they were standing so close, saying:
If I could hear it from across the stret, you SURELU could hear it while standing right next to them, so why not correct it right there and then?

I won’t stand for bullying or racism. Marysville school faculty…. do better!
