The Archdiocese of Philadelphia and Saint Hubert Catholic High School for Girls are investigating three students who posted a racist video on social media, according to statements from the school and Archdiocese.
The video and images in question depict several white girls, one in blackface, another saying the N-word and other racial comments.
The original video, that the school became aware of on Tuesday, has been removed but screenshots and screen records have made their way across social media platforms.
In one video that was posted online, multiple girls can be seen while one girl sprays brown spray paint onto another girl's face as two other girls record them.
The girl spraying the spray paint yells, “You’re a black girl. You know your roots, it’s February!”
In another video shared online, a white girl can be seen wearing a durag and saying, “I got the durag on, I got the power to say [N-word].”
“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 statement.
