Viral "Racist Rant" Posted by GHS Teens Causes Outrage
Extra Gainesville Police Officers are on stand-by at Gainesville High School Thursday morning to deal with the fallout from offensive videos posted by two Gainesville High School students.
The videos have gone viral on the worldwide web and are generating a lot of talk in the hallways of GHS.
This is the second of two videos produced by the duo. We're told that the first video is even worse than the second.
Here, the girls are responding to "hate mail" generated by their first racist rant video. The teens express no remorse for those they offended and laugh at the comments.
The original post may have been removed from YouTube, but several websites have reposted the second video in its entirety.
This offensive clip is mild compared with the rest of the video.
School Board spokesperson Jackie Johnson says they are aware of the video made by the two Gainesville High School students, however no disciplinary action has been taken.
