The students from Saint Hubert Catholic High School for Girls involved in the racist video that was posted online have been expelled.
“We are extremely disappointed to learn that anyone associated with Saint Hubert’s would act in such a manner, which is entirely inconsistent with our values. Please be assured that this matter is being actively investigated. All those responsible will be disciplined appropriately in accordance with our school handbook,” the school said in its initial statement regarding the video.
After the video and images circulated, members of the community protested and took to social media demanding the school take action. "They would scream the 'n-word' or they would just, a lot of micro-aggressions. Pull on their hair and laugh about [it], video it," Hines said. Students returned to school Monday morning on a two-hour delay with a visible and active police presence around the perimeter of the school, the school said.
