A series of racist incidents at an elementary school in Upland has sparked outrage from parents, district officials said, after children reportedly targeted classmates with racist drawings.
Manuel Dominguez High School in Compton will be closed Tuesday after the school’s cafeteria was destroyed in a fire Monday night.
“We deeply regret the hurt this behavior has caused our students, families and our community,” he said. “I want to make it perfectly clear that we have a strict zero-tolerance policy on any type of hate speech, harassment, discriminatory practices, behaviors, racial slurs, and any reports of these actions will be investigated thoroughly and immediately.”
The Upland Unified School District “will implement disciplinary action in these situations without hesitation,” Garnett said, though he did not elaborate. Robin Allen, president of the Pepper Tree PTA, said the association “stands firmly against racism in all forms and the culture of oppression that permeates the United States.”
“As an association that represents all children, we must listen, educate and advocate beyond rhetoric and rise to correct all inequities and injustices,” he wrote in a social media post. “These recent incidents are not isolated incidents. We do not accept this at Pepper Tree.”
