A group of high school students in California may be facing discipline after filming themselves belting the N-word while driving around in a parking lot.

According to the Los Angeles Times, at least three white teenage girls from Valencia High School and West Ranch High School can be seen repeatedly reciting "I don't like n*****" into a microphone in a video that's gone viral.

School district officials said they launched an investigation into the video after becoming aware of the incident earlier this month. Superintendent Mike Kuhlman condemned the footage, noting that the administration would take “strong, proactive steps" against "this type of blatant racism."

“The Hart District will not condone this type of hate speech, and we have taken proactive steps to ensure that it is our intention to promote an equitable, safe, and inclusive environment for all of our students," Kuhlman said in a statement.

Valerie Bradford, the president of the Santa Clarita chapter of the NAACP, held a news conference denouncing the students' behavior.

“Last week, three students thought it prudent to disrespect and inflict lasting pain on an entire group. They chose to film themselves laughing and smiling and singing the N-word and stating that they hate N-word,” Bradford said during a press conference. “Their actions, of course, spread like wildfire, and the African-American students on the campus once again felt fearful and alone and singled out."

One student said the incident is not new for Black students in Santa Clarita.

“The recent events regarding the video of students committing a blatant hate speech has brought to the stage the story of racism that all Black students in this valley have been facing ever since they’ve been going to school,” the student said at the press conference.
