A spokesperson for St. Hubert Catholic School for Girls said the students were identified through an investigation that included the Philadelphia Police Department.

FOX 29 is not showing the video, but it allegedly shows students making racist comments and spraying something on another girl whose face is painted black."The young women who were responsible for this situation have been identified, and they are no longer members of this school community," a letter to families read.

The school did not specify exactly how many of its students were expelled, but they previously confirmed that three females were involved in the video.
