Incidents In November 2016, students created a music video to Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill's song, "DC4" Album Outro. The music video, which was filmed by the students without permission, featured clips of students gambling, fighting, and making various gang signs and/or gestures. After editing the video, it was posted on YouTube. It quickly spread around and it was not long until the staff found out. After much controversy, the students involved in the music video each received a 10-day out-of-school suspension. The staff claimed the students were suspended for using explicit language and inappropriate behavior inside of the school building. Soon after the students were suspended, many other students performed a walkout to protest the suspensions. The students eventually agreed to return to their classes. A student started a petition on change.org which claimed that the Egg Harbor Township School District had punished the students involved in the video too harshly.
