GRINNELL, Iowa (AP) - Officials with the Grinnell-Newberg Community School District say they have punished middle school students who posted a racist video on TikTok.
KCCI-TV reports that Grinnell police also are investigating after residents reported the video titled “Hitler Gang.” Those residents believe the video was directed at their son, a Jewish transgender student at the middle school.
Police say the 10-second video shows several male students walking through the school hallway “in a goose-step style manner with their arms extended and palms down.” Police say the video also included “several racist and derogatory hashtags.”

The student told the TV station that as a result, he’s scared to go to school.
Grinnell-Newburg Superintendent Janet Stutz said the students involved were punished, but didn’t elaborate.
