A Baltimore high school principal was falsely depicted making racist and anti-Semitic remarks in a deepfake audio clip shared over 27,000 times. This led to his temporary suspension until the deepfake was proven false, resulting in a teacher's arrest. In February 2023, students in Putnam County, New York, created a deepfake video of their principal making violent threats. While disciplinary action was taken, some parents felt the school's response was insufficient. In October 2023, male students in New Jersey created pornographic deepfakes of female classmates, leading to parental criticism of the school's response. A Seattle-area high school failed to report a similar incident to law enforcement, highlighting the legal obligation to report such cases involving minors.
