When going beyond the factors of race and religion here to look at the "big picture", all in all, this seems like a badly-intended prank gone horribly wrong. If the NAACP got involved every time a student got in trouble on the bus or at school, they'd probably have to change their name.

If the stories from both sides match up to a reasonable degree (this is why cameras come in handy), then reasonable action can be taken against the involved students.
