New York teens filmed themselves chanting a racial slur, and about 70 classmates reportedly walked out over how the school punished them

A video of Colonie Central High School students laughing and repeating the n-word has sparked a dispute over discipline in the South Colonie Central School District in Albany, New York. About 70 students reportedly walked out of class to protest how administrators handled the classmates in the video, according to The Nerd Stash. However, the district has since said no alleged organized walkout took place.

The video appears to show a group of students laughing and repeating the slur multiple times while one student holds the camera. Nobody in the room appears to try to stop the behavior. The video spread quickly on TikTok, where users started calling for the school to take action.
