At this high school just 40 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border, community members were shocked to see the photos.
By Moriah Balingit Moriah Balingit Reporter covering national education issues Email Bio Follow May 24 at 5:05 PM A half-dozen foreign language teachers at a high school just north of the U.S.-Mexico border are facing criticism for dressing up in sombreros, fake mustaches and ponchos for yearbook photos, costumes that a local college professor says amount to racist mimicry.
— Steve Price May 22, 2019 None of the teachers immediately responded to requests for comment sent to their work email addresses. The Escondido Union High School District, which is in San Diego County, said the photos were “culturally insensitive and in poor judgment.” A school system representative said Friday the teachers’ actions are being addressed, but because the matter constitutes a personnel issue, details remain confidential.
Casas directed teachers to discuss the episode with students and to ask them how the photos made them feel. Students were also asked what school leaders could do to repair the damage done by the photos.
