Two Georgia high school students have been expelled and will not graduate after posting a racist video on social media, reports WDTN.
Georgia students racist video
The Carrollton High School seniors posted the video last week on TikTok, where it quickly went viral and spread across other social media platforms.
The video shows the two students using the n-word and writing derogatory comments about African Americans on a piece of paper.
The students can be seen in a bathroom mimicking a cooking show using labeled cups of water.
“First, we have ‘black’,” the girl can be heard saying, as the boy pours a cup of water in the sink. “Next, we have ‘don’t have a dad.’”
The two then pour cups of water labeled “Eat watermelon and fried chicken,” “Rob people,” and “Go to jail” into the sink, while they skip pouring a cup labeled “Make good choices.”
School statement
The students were quickly identified, and Carrollton City School District Superintendent Dr. Mark Albertus issued a statement.
“Please know this video is being addressed immediately, and any student involved in the production of this video will face serious consequences,” Albertus said.
The school system then released another statement announcing the expulsion of the students.
“Two Carrollton High School students who were featured in a racially offensive TikTok video that spread across social media platforms last night are no longer students in the Carrollton City School District,” Albertus said in the statement, saying he was “deeply disturbed” by the “unacceptable” behavior.
Officials also stated the school system takes pride in its diverse student population and considers it a strength.
“This incident does not reflect the culture of Carrollton City Schools,” Albertus said. “We are very proud of our diversity and so is our entire community. We don’t need to lose sight of this important attribute because of the actions of a few.”
