Idaho Elementary Teachers Dressed Up As Mexicans And The Border Wall For Halloween

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A group of elementary school teachers from Middleton School District in Middleton, Idaho, dressed up as Mexicans and President Donald Trump’s U.S.-Mexico border wall for Halloween.

A photo of about a dozen staff members wearing the costume was posted to the Middleton School District’s Facebook page Thursday evening, the Idaho Press reports. The border wall reads “Make America Great Again,” while the staffers who dressed up as Mexicans are wearing sombreros, ponchos and holding maracas. One woman even wrote “MEXICAN” in big red letters on the top of her sombrero.

The Thursday post read in part: “It was a great day to be a Heights Hawk! We celebrated our RESPECT character winners, single and double marathon runners.”

Although the Facebook post has since been deleted, screenshots of the racist Halloween costumes were taken and circulated across social media. Many people from the district and other social media users were furious with the costume.

2. I was at the tRump Baby Balloon parade in

San Diego (at the border) this week and we were supposed to dress in military costumes since it was the Big Baby Balloon riding a giant, inflated missile like Slim Pickens in Dr Strangelove. It was supposed to be anti tRump and make fun at his failed Military Parade so they got it all set up. Then one woman dressed in a sombrero and cowboy boots and a pistol was posing in front of it. We were horrified and thought it was very stereotypical. Some people are so ignorant. And she was anti-tRump but dressed like a female "Frito Bandito". Geez!
