GARDEN GROVE, Calif. – Pacifica High School students in the Garden Grove Unified School District published an Instagram post on Wednesday evening expressing their feelings after three videos were leaked showing students from the school engaging in Nazi salutes.
The first video was originally published on Monday on The Daily Beast. The video was filmed in November of 2018 and depicted a group of students at an off-campus banquet saluting and signing to Nazi themes.
The second video showed students from the high school making Nazi gestures. The third video was of a student wearing the Confederate flag released on Tuesday.
The Instagram account, @PacificaASB, is an account run by students of the associated student body on campus. Their post was addressed to the community, the staff, the parents, the alumni, student body, and anyone hurt by these events.
Here is a portion of the post:
“As fellow students here on campus, we understand what you are feeling right now and have been feeling for the past few days. We are here to let you know that, as an ASB, we feel the same way and we are just as hurt and disappointed by the hateful behavior that has occurred on and off campus.”
Pacifica High School students are expected to return to campus following their summer break next Wednesday.
