Students Reprimanded for their Social Media Activities
IDIOTS…spawned by IDIOTS.
Kids are kids!!
It sure sounds like this school has a pretty serious problem of ignorance and disrespect among the student body!
Actions that mock or exhibit hate are no laughing matter! " Kids will be kids"?! No, Kids will be adults and then what excuse will there be for racism?
Goofy ass hillbilly school
Does this mean non white races can't dance like a white males? Standing there awkwardly hands in the pockets swaying right to left.
that's just stupid social media getting kids in trouble lol kinda sounds like a Nazi camp instead of school. I guess it is a democratic state good ol Minnesota where if you hurt someones feelings they throw the book at you. stupid stupid stupid they need to ban Democrats
wow
it's good that the school took action
Can't expect much else coming from that area. A lot of future mass shooters in training in that video. Gross. The parents probably no different, racism is learned behavior, usually at their dinner table.
Although these kids are turds anybody heard about freedom of speech? The school has zero authority over what these kids do outside of school. The parents need to be the ones who correct them.
So if students learned an Irish dance, a Scottish sword dance Russian dance, Japan Kabuki. they would be in as much trouble.
People are worried about being offended, the same type that find it ok to do the same if it's on the other foot! Get a life people
Maybe they just wanted to learn the pow wow
This WHOLE THING was very badly mistaken. I was the one who posted the videos on Instagram, but this was taken way out of context. I posted these 2 videos along with pictures of good friends which was supposed to be meant as a thank you and an appreciation post to those who made my whole 9th grade year better. Nothing was meant to be racist or disrespectful towards the indigenous people at all, it was just kids being kids and having fun. The fact that all of us are getting disciplined because of it is upsetting being that this was an event outside of school where school wasn’t in session at the time and it was a Friday night and Saturday morning at the time. I get it, I should’ve thought hard before posting this being that people get offended so easily this day in age but there should be no excuse that I’m getting daily DEATH THREATS because I posted the videos on social media. I was walking in the crowd of people who were dancing while I was just walking and having a good time.
My friend tells me stay white now ,.😮 He's Hispanic … 😎 he's cool
In the old days we'd make fun of everyone including ourselves.. you just didn't tell your parents or anyone outside of the "circle".. so, if you don't post it, it is just what it is — a good laugh and usually forgotten in a day or two. I think this is taken way out of context and people assume it means something THEY THINK it does..
Wouldn't expect anything less from an individual with a hyphenated name
