The students walked out of class Thursday morning to hold a ?peace rally? after video of the fight, involving dozens of students at the school, went viral online earlier this week.
Students locked arms, held placards and chanted, ?It?s not about race? in the impromptu rally at the predominantly Latino San Fernando Valley high school, according to the Los Angeles Times.
?We?re not doing this out of defiance,? senior Luis Abundez told the paper. ?We?re doing this out of unity. We want everybody to know that this little incident that happened at our school doesn?t define Sylmar High School.?
