The roughly 10-second video was shared widely on social media platforms. In it, the five girls are heard taking turns saying ”F--- n------" and laughing into the camera.
An investigation is underway into a video circulated on social media Monday night showing a group of Weber High School students chanting racial slurs and vulgarities, a Weber School District spokesman said.
District spokesman Lane Findlay said the girls in the video are juniors and seniors at Weber High, and three of them participate on the school's cheerleading team.
Findlay said that, based on interviews with the three of the girls, the video appears to have been filmed last year during the school's fall break. The girls recorded themselves inside a vehicle that was not on school property, he said, and the students were not participating in a campus activity at the time.
”The students were on a trip outside of school on their own personal time," Findlay said in a statement.
But Findlay said in an interview that the video has caused a disruption at school, and that cheerleaders are held to a higher standard of conduct as part of their eligibility for extracurricular activities.
”Right now the focus is on the investigation and trying to answer all the questions that have come up," Findlay said.
