(CNN)Texas A&M officials have identified one student who was involved in an incident where Aggie students reportedly yelled a racial slur at a group of 60 minority high schoolers and told them to “go back where they came from.”

A female Texas A&M student approached two high school girls and asked them what they thought of her Confederate battle flag earrings, said Sara Ortega, spokeswoman for Uplift Hampton Preparatory School. A counselor with the charter school students told them to ignore the comment and to keep walking.

Then people in the group of 13 white college students used a racial epithet several times toward the Uplift students, Ortega said.

An officer who responded told the visitors that it appeared to be a case of people exercising First Amendment rights, then wrote a report.

From what I’ve seen it’s not that prevalent. This school does have a problem with racism, it’s just usually not out in the open like this incident. It’s mainly anonymous on social media platforms like Yik Yak, where it is extremely prevalent.
