Guerin Catholic High School has responded to a video posted to Twitter showing Guerin Catholic cheerleaders mocking and bullying a classmate.
In the video, the students, sitting in a vehicle, record themselves as they rap vulgar lyrics denigrating and demeaning another student while wearing Guerin Catholic cheerleading uniforms.
After the video was posted to the social media site, Guerin Catholic High School President Dr. John Atha responded with the following statement:
“We have recently been made aware of the fact that a group of our students created an inappropriate video that was posted on social media. As Christians, we strive to respect the dignity of each human person and clearly this incident goes against that ideal. As a Catholic high school, we will use this situation as a teaching moment grounded in our vision to Lead with Humility, Serve with Love, and Trust in Providence.
Our students’ safety and well-being are paramount and this behavior will not be tolerated. Rest assured, administrators are providing support and are in contact with the families involved to work through the disciplinary process.
If you have questions or concerns that you would like to discuss, please reach out to me.”
