St Hubert Catholic College goes Virtual after racist video

Post Reply New Topic

Students at St. Hubert Catholic High School in Holmesburg will learn virtually for the rest of the week after a racist video involving some of its students was shared online.

School administrators say the school community received threats after the video was shared.

The video shows a teen spray painting another teen's face black and making racist remarks. The Archdiocese of Philadelphia said some of the girls in the video are St. Hubert students. Another girl attends Franklin Towne Charter school.

The school has a long history of racial discrimination against black students prompting protests outside the school which resulted in the college being closed and classes going online

There seems to be a pattern in American private religious schools and colleges where so called "christian" adminstrators seem to permit a culture of racism and discrimination on school grounds.

Perhaps this is a more serious matter than non-existent spectre propagated by republicans of teaching white kiddies about black history

Oh and it's quite unusual for a school to shutdown over students posting a video. It may be the first time in world history.
