Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade Support Student Who Broke School Rule

PLANTATION, Fla. (AP) — A Florida Prep school stands by it's handbook of rules after a student athlete crosses the line with an opposing coach.
The expulsion of a student who is friends with NBA star Dwayne Wade and actress Gabrielle Union says its handbook explicitly states that any student who uses profanity toward a staff member will be expelled.
Wade and Union released a statement Thursday supporting senior Cyrus Nance, who was a basketball player at American Heritage High in Plantation, Florida. He was expelled last month after a verbal altercation with a coach of another team at the school. Wade's son also plays at the school.
Nance's attorney, Benjamin Crump, says discrimination was involved in the expulsion.
The school said in a statement Friday those allegations are untrue.
The school says their investigation shows the evidence supports the school's disciplinary action.Florida Prep School
