A teacher says her students were racially profiled by staff at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston during a recent field trip.

The students were also instructed not to touch any of the artifacts in the museum. Other white students on field trips"touched the displays several times" as security looked on without saying anything, Lamy said, but when her students followed suit, they were yelled at by security guards. The Helen Y Davis Leadership Academy is a public charter school with an enrollment that is about 72 percent black and 26 percent Hispanic, according to state education data.

“We will give them a chance to provide us an update with their internal investigation and after that, we’ll obviously reconvene," Coblyn told NBC News on Thursday.
