School administrators also said the video could be considered cyberbullying and is a violation of school rules. “It’s potentially a hate crime, so it sickens me.” “There’s no place for that in our program at all, and it won’t be tolerated,” said Kearns football coach Matt Rickards.
Punishment for the students is still being considered, according to reports. But their names were not released publicly. The teens in the video were identified as students of the Granite School District in Kearns, Utah. The video reportedly posted last week shows a young man setting a gay pride flag on fire while a voice is heard saying, “all gays die,” the New York Post reported.
