OVIEDO, Fla. - A Florida middle school wants to see disciplinary action after a video with strong racist tones circulated on social media. The video which surfaced at Jackson Heights Middle School in Oviedo, Florida, shows students' faces with audio dubbed over them – the audio is referring to someone who knits, but some feel it sounds similar to a highly-offensive word. The end of the video shows one of the students with a monkey face. "I'm not happy about it. If I hear what it means, of course, something needs to be done," Miranda Burnazi said.
