DYKER HEIGHTS—Two white students at an elite private school in Dyker Heights have come under fire after a video surfaces of them in blackface, jumping around and making monkey noises.

Although the video, obtained by the New York Daily News, has been floating around Poly Prep Country Day School for days, no disciplinary actions have been taken against the students.

In the offensive video clip, two white females can be seen laughing and jumping around in blackface while a third white female films them. The three girls were 12-years-old when the video was taken two years ago.

One of the girl’s parents insisted the students were not being racist and were not in blackface but only wearing dark makeup; and another student edited and circulated the video without the girl’s knowledge or approval, according to the Daily News. Both students and parents are not convinced.

“If you smoke a Juul at school you can get kicked out but you can create a racist video and not get kicked out,” a father of a black student told the Daily News. “A lot of black parents are saying they wish they never sent their kid there, because of serious institutional racism in college admissions and in discipline.”

Another parent said she requested that her daughter be given the opportunity to apologize and explain the video, but the school’s officials silenced her.

Two of the girls from the video are said to still attend Poly Prep while a third girl transferred last year.

The co-president of a students of color organization called Umoja, deShong-Connor, helped stage a student walkout during an assembly honoring Martin Luther King Jr. at the school on Friday to protest the video. Umoja collectively also wrote an open letter, published in the school’s newspaper earlier that day, that set out a list of demands for Poly Prep staffers to meet, including a public apology from the girls in the video and a promise to hire more faculty of color.

“It has reached the point where we believe that only radical action can defeat this trend of hatred at Poly for “justice too long delayed is justice denied,” the letter read.

The school’s head, Audrius Barzdukas, sent a letter in response to parents that evening promising to address the incident at an upcoming meeting with students of color.

“Some students and faculty shed tears,” Barzdukas said. “The letter described an atmosphere of racial intolerance and prejudice and admonished the school’s administration for not doing enough to prevent or respond to this atmosphere.”

“We will not tolerate racism in our school. We will foster a culture where we seek to understand one another and to bridge cultures. I promise that we will do everything possible to make positive change going forward, and I invite you all to hold us accountable,” Barzdukas added.

Mayor Bill de Blasio took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the school.

“Poly Prep has some real explaining to do,” the mayor writes. ” And what’s absolutely clear is that a conversation about racism at the school is long overdue.”
