A group of Idaho elementary school teachers has been placed on temporary leave after dressing as Donald Trump’s border wall for Halloween, the Idaho Press-Tribune reported Saturday.
Since-deleted photos posted to the Middleton School District’s page showed one group of teachers dressed as a brick wall, one waving a U.S. flag and another dressed as an eagle, and another group wearing sombreros, carrying maracas and wearing fake mustaches.
A total of 14 teachers and school administrative personnel were placed on paid administrative leave following an emergency meeting of the district’s board of trustees on Saturday, according to the newspaper. They’ve launched an investigation into the incident, and plan to hold sensitivity training for all district staff, the Press-Tribune reported.
The Idaho Education Association called the events at Heights Elementary School “disturbing and inappropriate.”
“The teachers involved, as well as school administrative personnel, and the Middleton School District showed extremely poor judgment,” the organization said in a statement. “The messages conveyed are the antithesis of the beliefs and values of the Idaho Education Association and its dedicated members throughout the state.”
Idaho has teachers?
oh really ? ? …
One can only wonder what the little kiddies are indoctrinated into
during their Sunday School —
A disgrace to good, dedicated teachers everywhere.
Yeah it is and that’s so damned unfair.
One is also dressed as the Statue of Liberty, confirming irony is, in fact, dead.
