COVINGTON, Ga. - Students at Eastside High School are under fire after a social media post went viral showing discriminatory and racial remarks and actions. 

According to videos shared on social media, a male student can be seen escorting a female student with hands behind her back. He is heard saying, "This is what happens when you cross the border illegally." The female student is then placed behind a gate and the first male student states, "Justice is served." A second male student then appears on screen and states, "Remember, *explicit removed* the Mexicans."
