A Harrah Middle School student and his family details alleged racist acts by other students and even teachers at the school. 

Arzell Gaddis, 13, is bi-racial and says he's been called the "N-word" several times by other students and targeted during the past year.  He says he's complained to teachers and even the principal several times, but says he is the one who's been punished for bringing it up. 

Tuesday night more than 100 people rallied outside Harrah Middle School to support Arzell and his family.   

"There are two sides to this story.  As I speak to you, these are tremendous allegations," said Harrah School District Resource Officer, Phil Stewart.

Stewart says he hopes to finish his investigation into Gaddis' allegations sometime next week.
