Upon taking a bus back to Colby, the students of color sang along with a Drake song that played over the radio, when a white student told a male Posse student to be quiet because they were disturbing others on the bus. From there, a few accounts dispute what happened, but a physical confrontation took place on the bus. The next day there were pictures of the incident on social media, Facebook.
