NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Sept. 10 (UPI) -- A U.S. high school whose male athletes threatened to rape and kill a girl starring in a school play will get tolerance training, a legal settlement stated.

Corona del Mar High School, which drew national attention this year when its principal canceled "Rent: School Edition" because of concerns about its content, will provide the training to students, teachers, administrators and school district officials, the settlement said.

The production was later reinstated after Principal Fal Asrani said the only reason she had banned the performance was that she had not been given a copy of the script.

During the controversy, the school was sued by the American Civil Liberties Union for allegedly harboring a culture of homophobia and sexism.

The lawsuit charged that three football players posted a video on the Facebook social networking Web site in which they threatened to rape and murder student Hail Ketchum, 17, now a Loyola Marymount University freshman.

Ketchum starred in "Rent," playing Mimi, an exotic dancer with the human immunodeficiency virus.

Because of the settlement, "no one else will have to go through what I went through," the Los Angeles Times quoted Ketchum as saying.

Under the settlement, the training will be led by the Anti-Defamation League and will include such topics as what constitutes discrimination and harassment and how students can be harmed by it.

School district officials admitted no wrongdoing in the settlement and declined to comment on the lawsuit's allegations.
