WBAL-TV 11 is reporting that Baltimore's private Gilman School is responding to a controversial video of students that circulated on social media.
The video shows male students handling a female blow-up doll and pretending to perform sex acts on the doll.
In a statement released Monday, a school representative said, "The sequence of events involves inappropriate and unacceptable behavior by a group of students and the posting of that behavior on various social media outlets. Gilman is well aware of the situation and we are treating it with the seriousness that it deserves."
Citing privacy policies, the school would not say whether it had disciplined any students.
However, some of those at Bryn Mawr, an all-girls school that partners with Gilman said they received the video over Snapchat.
Senior Amy Egan said she felt school administrators weren't taking the issue seriously. So she decided to post the videos on Facebook, which led to a heated debate between the students.
"I wanted to let all of the women who have been made feel uncomfortable at Gilman know that they are not alone, and that I, alongside my Bryn Mawr peers, are fighting for change within our community," Egan said.
