BOSTON — Students protested outside Boston Latin School upset after two headmasters resigned after months of tension in the halls.
Current students, former students and parents were chanting "BLS" in an effort to fight to keep the Headmaster Lynne Mooney Teta and Assistant Headmaster Malcolm Flynn. It was the last day of school Friday and some said losing these two is a mistake that comes from the top.
"I think it's a sign for Marty Walsh and Superintendent Chang that we didn't receive enough support," said Dan O'Leary, a BLS graduate.
Teta and Flynn quit this week amid a year involving accusations of racial tensions at the school. A video surfaced where two students claimed a group of white students tweeted insensitive comments about the police brutality case in Ferguson and were not disciplined.
Flynn told FOX25's Robert Goulston that the school superintendent failed to act appropriately when the controversy surfaced. The school was not allowed to talk, which only fueled the issue more, according to Flynn.
"When we were dealing with those tweets, and what we were doing here. We were saying what was your guidance, tell us. They said you work it out and we'll see how it is," said Flynn.
The Mayor's Office said in a written statement, "the mayor takes very seriously any complaints about the mishandling of discipline at any school, including Boston Latin. Mayor Walsh has never wavered in his support for Boston Latin School, however he will not ignore reports of students feeling unsafe."
"Some people weren't happy with what the school did, but the school did something," said Flynn about the racial allegations.
FOX25 has not been able to get ahold of Teta to get a comment about her thoughts.
The parents and students at the rally say they plan to have a meeting with the school superintendent as early as next week as they try to figure out what's next, including the strategy to find a new headmaster.
