CHICAGO - There was outrage in Chicago and the south suburbs after students at Marist High School were caught on video kneeling during a Spanish-language song at their Homecoming dance over the weekend.
Some were calling the act a racist gesture.
However, more details surfaced Tuesday that revealed more about the incident.
In a statement, the school said in part: "Students showed displeasure of the songs (being played at Homecoming) by kneeling, crouching down, or sitting at multiple times throughout the dance."
School officials confirmed the kneeling was not isolated to that specific Spanish-language song heard on the viral video, and students who were kneeling or sitting danced to other Spanish-language songs throughout the night.
DJ Brian Stepanek says it was nearly impossible to please the 800 kids at the dance.
"There were other times at this dance that the students were protesting the music being played," he said. "It wasn't related to any music genre. It was just if they didn't like the song, they would sit down."

it’s okay to kneel for a criminal but not okay to if you think a song sucks. Liberal rules... They decide for themselves and you what the “rules” are.
And they do so while the hate and anger over whatever they don’t like spills forth out of their mouths as they simultaneously say everyone else must be tolerant towards them.
And it doesn’t matter what a student says they heard without proof.
IOW, the media attacks on these students have been pretty rough already.
If ya see them squatting and grunting, it means they really hate the song.
I’m curious if people kneel or turn their back for the stupid black nationalist anthem at nfl games
Well I mean how many times can one listen to “Despacito” in one lifetime?
But the

says it’s OK to “take a knee” during the National Anthem.
THIS IS NOT AMERICA—THIS IS A CHINESE PROVINCE!
But isn’t it divisive to have another anthem? I thought those making the rules were against divisiveness?
“Hispanic” in not a race.
Rules only work one way
Things have sure changed since I went to the Homecoming Dance in high school. All we were interested in back then was trying to make out with girls.
If not yet, they should.
Criminy. Is there anything that doesn’t get protested these days? If you don’t like a song, sit it out
Now if they were playing the national anthem and they kneeled they would be praised.
Students again.....when are the schools going to stop these demonstrations by “children” and put them back into their seats to learn what they’re there for. The world would be a lot better off without catering to kids who want to be activists. They’re still “Kids” for crying out loud.
This is what you send your kids to school for???
They thought it was a hymn, and were kneeling in respect...
