Deer Creek High School is facing backlash after a video showed students licking peanut butter off their classmates’ toes. The activities portrayed in the video were part of the school’s annual fundraising event, which raised money for Not Your Average Joe on March 1. The fundraiser raised more than $150,000.

Oklahoma's state schools Superintendent Ryan Walters reposted Fox 25's video with a caption saying, "We are cleaning up this filth in Oklahoma schools." Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, of Texas, also shared the post and described it as "child abuse."
