LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Two Arbor View High School students who police say were behind racially charged social media posts against other students appeared in court on Friday.
One of the students continued his plea until April 12 and the second admitted to a felony count of making terroristic threats with multiple victims with sentencing also scheduled for next Friday.
Parents and the community hosted a press conference following the appearances as they have been pushing the Clark County School District to address cultural issues following the racist threats.
The social media posts first came to light in March when Instagram pictures spread through the school community.
The photos targeted black students and called for a “Columbine part 2."
