In the video, Yu, who was running for student body president, rescues someone who is being forced by "extremists" to participate in a video game competition. While the school told Yu the video may have violated campaign rules, it later became the subject of false rumors that alleged the video disparaged Muslim Americans
As a result of the video, Yu was disqualified from an impending student body election, although that decision was ultimately overruled and he was reinstated as president for senior year. The district is also required to post a public apology on its website as a result of the incident.
