District promises action after California students post racist video on social media

LOS ANGELES — Santa Clarita school district officials have promised to take action after a video posted on social media shows students driving around a school parking lot and singing a song that includes a racist slur.

Three students from Valencia High School filmed themselves laughing and repeatedly singing the N-word into a microphone. The lyrics to the song included, “I don’t like N—.”

Representatives of the Santa Clarita chapter of the NAACP and the William S. Hart Union High School District addressed the video at a news conference Tuesday with other community leaders. District officials did not disclose what type of discipline the students will face because they are minors.
