Officials in a suburban Madison school district are cracking down on students displaying symbols of a youth gang espousing racist ideas.

The tension, mostly between small groups of black and white students at Monona Grove High School, has led to the suspension of two white and two black students and has caused parents of minority students to worry about their children's safety.

"I never thought I'd see a situation like this," said Charlie Ellis, equity and diversity coordinator for the Monona Grove School District. "This is absolutely incredible to me."
