St. Hubert Catholic High School vows to discipline students involved in blackface video posted on social media

A Roman Catholic high school for girls in Northeast Philadelphia on Tuesday night vowed to discipline students who made a racist video that appeared on social media earlier in the day.

In a Facebook post, leaders of St. Hubert Catholic High School for Girls in Holmesburg said they were aware of the video and images taken from it and were investigating. The video shows several white teen girls, with one spray-painting the face of another with a dark color and yelling “Know your roots!” and “It’s February!” and “You’re nothing but a slave.”

The girl with the blackface then declares: “I’m Black and I’m proud!” Other girls present laugh throughout the video.“Earlier today it came to our attention that a handful of students posted images and videos on a social media platform of a racially charged nature,” Lizanne Pando, the school’s president, and Gina MacKenzie, the principal, said in the posted statement.

“Please be assured that this matter is being actively investigated. All those responsible will be disciplined appropriately in accordance with our school handbook,” they said.“Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia seek to form young men and women of character,” said spokesperson Ken Gavin. “We view racism as a mortal sin. There is no place for it in our hearts and minds and there is no tolerance for such behavior at Saint Hubert’s or any Catholic School.

What about Franklin towne charter ?

She wasn't 'Blackface' she was incognito in Philly.

They are kids get over it race mob

'Discipline' means a conference. Donation. Shake of hands. All is well is lily land.

Don't forget this one also, sad

of course its a catholic school

Kick them both out. And the ones watching, long suspensions. Absolutely racist trash.

asoldiersvoice They always 'vow' to discipline them, but then don't release the punishment because it's a minor. Case in point, the white HS girls that recorded racist video of themselves in Utah.

By discipline, i hope you mean expel…

Praise Jesus amirite folks

Eagles fans

How's that faith and integrity thing working out?

They were comfortable doing that because it’s no big deal in their household.

Big if true

Let's be real here. Their parents pay for them to go there, and the school isn't going to throw away money on 'discipline.' Detention for being racist sounds like the probable tiny slap on the wrist these disgusting students will get. Yay racism.
