A black mannequin was dragged by a rope during a football match at Nevada High School

A Nevada school district announced that it was investigating an incident at a high school football game after a video. A photo showed a student using a rope to drag a black manikin to the floor during a parade at half-time.

The incident occurred on Friday night during a match between Damonte Ranch and McQueen, two high schools in Reno.

In a video taken by a photographer for KRNV, affiliated with NBC, we see a student from Damonte Ranch dressed as a cowboy riding on the school mascot, a mustang, while he pulls with a rope a black mannequin on the floor behind him.

Dr. Kristen McNeill, acting director of the Washoe County School District, said she was informed of the incident on Friday night and that she had immediately launched an investigation and conducted an "investigation into facts".

"This incident and the behavior of the managers are totally incompatible with our collective commitment to fairness, diversity, responsibility and kindness to all our students and staff members," reads the report. district website.

According to the school's incident report, students built a float for the parade and incorporated McQueen's mascot, a Lancer Knight. Originally, class counselors had approved a plan allowing students to buy an inflatable cowboy and horse, and then lasso a student who disguised himself as a knight.

The plan changed afterwards and it was decided that a student would dress in cowboy and that a doll dummy to suck would disguise himself as a knight. Class Counselors were not aware of the changes, according to the report.

The report says that students have tried to buy a gray mannequin online, but that they have not managed to find one. So they bought a black mannequin. According to the Reno Gazette Journal, the colors of McQueen 's school are gray and blue.

The model wore a lasso around her waist and was supposed to stand on the chariot during the parade, but he would not stay up and "that's why he ended up being dragged behind the student," according to the report.

The report says the tank was intended to "demonstrate a traditional and friendly rivalry" and should never be offensive.

"I can not begin to express how sorry we are that this happened during the reunion parade parade," the report said. "We will never intentionally attempt to offend any culture because we represent diverse cultures in our high school and community of Damonte Ranch."

The district said it was considering holding those responsible for their actions. "It could actually entail, in addition to excuses, a redoubling of efforts around the school in civil rights training, equity and diversity," the district said.
