Monroe father charged with hate crime at high school

MONROE — The father of a Monroe High School student was charged Tuesday with a hate crime in connection with a racist incident at the school in November.

William Cunningham, 39, is accused of threatening and repeatedly spewing racist slurs at a Black high school student who his daughter and her boyfriend were arguing with.

Citing video evidence, prosecutors allege he said he was “going to (expletive) all you (N-word) up” and “if I see you I’ll kill you.”

In a statement Wednesday, the district said, “We are horrified that someone, especially an adult, would threaten one of our students in this way. There is no place for hate in the Monroe School District and we will take action to remove access to school sites for anyone who threatens students and staff.”
