Md. school apologizes after video shows White students singing n-word

Jose Romero recorded the video while on a Red Line train toward Glenmont on Thursday. When he boarded the car at the Metro Center station, it was packed with dozens of students, some wearing shirts and backpacks from Landon — a college preparatory school in Bethesda.

Another video shows the group of teenagers hitting the windows and top of the Metro car as they yell a profanity about Gonzaga high school. Gonzaga College High School is a private Catholic college preparatory high school in the District. The Landon soccer team was playing against Gonzaga that night.Romero posted both videos online and tagged Landon’s social media accounts. His post gained attention from other influencers around the D.C.

A dean from Landon contacted him the next morning with further questions about what happened in the Metro car, Romero said, including whether he heard any student nicknames that could help identify who was involved. The school’s administrators had already identified two students in the video and planned to talk to them, the dean told Romero.

“I did make it clear to him it’s impossible to tell who is saying [the n-word] and who isn’t,” Romero, 44, said. “I think that you can’t really single out one person, but the school should really take this as a teaching moment … for those students.”Since posting the video, Romero has gotten some comments from what appeared to be students from the school. He said he has since restricted those comments so they don’t appear publicly to protect the students from being targeted by other users online.

Who cares lmao

Frankly, it would help if that word weren't used in music that is designed to be catchy and therefore likely to be repeated or performed (in a loose sense) by people other than the original creator, who presumably is 'entitled' to use the word.

Surprise surprise

Why is the school apologising?
