Highly offensive. Disgusting. Callous. Ignorant. Pathetic. Arrogant. And — seems obvious that teachers like this have a mean streak.
And — I was shocked, horrified, angry and sad, all at the same time, when I heard about that group of Idaho teachers who for Halloween came to school with some dressed up as a wall, while others wore stereotypical Mexican costumes. (ponchos, sombreros, mustaches, etc.) It is likely there were Hispanic children at that school. How could teachers possibly think it was OK, cute, and funny to mock a child’s cultural heritage — or anybody’s? And even if there were no Hispanic children there, what kind of example were those teachers setting by even going down that road. Geez.
Are schools so desperate for teachers now that they have to keep those who have absolutely no judgement skills or conscience.
Heart-breaking.
I hope the administration of those schools has sense enough to deal with these people. They are poisoning kids.
