Students and activists gathered at Prior Lake High School Thursday afternoon to demand justice for a student who was the subject of a video posted by her classmate.
The rally gathered outside the school shortly after classes ended for the day. School leaders had cancelled classes early on Thursday, ahead of the protest, citing safety concerns.
Students say the viral video isn’t an isolated incident. They are calling on the school district to penalize the two students involved in the video so they can feel safe at school.
A Livestream from the protest showed a crowd of students, some holding signs, outside the high school before 1 p.m. dancing to music to show their support for Nya, demand the students involved in the video be disciplined, and encouraging people to call out others.
After the sisters drew attention to that video, they say more videos were made, this time directed at them.
