Idaho : Middleton school district to investigate staff dressed as border wall, Mexicans

https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/education/article221015995.html

Photos of staff at an elementary school in Middleton who were dressed for Halloween as Mexicans, while others posed behind a cardboard cutout of a border wall that says “Make America Great Again,” are circulating across the Treasure Valley’s social media and beyond this morning.

Superintendent Josh Middleton posted a video on the district’s Facebook page on Friday morning denouncing the costumes, which were worn by staff at Middleton Heights Elementary School. He said he offers his “sincerest and deepest apologies” to the families and patrons of the district.

In a statement provided to the Statesman, Middleton said he was contacted Thursday evening by a parent who was concerned about the photos.

“We are better than this,” he said in the Facebook Live video. “We embrace all students. We have a responsibility to teach and reach all students — period.”

The photos were posted from the Middleton School District’s Facebook page with a caption that said, in part, “It was a great day to be a Heights Hawk! We celebrated our RESPECT character winners, single and double marathon runners.”
