Idaho school investigating after teachers wore border wall costumes for Halloween

An Idaho elementary school came under fire after photos showed staff members dressed as the border wall for Halloween this week. The costume had the words “Make America Great Again” written over the front. The employees also wore costumes exploiting Mexican stereotypes.

Photos posted to the Middleton School District’s Facebook page showed staff members from the Middleton Heights Elementary School dressed up in cardboard to appear like a wall, KTVB reported [near Boise].

The words “Make America Great Again” were written in red, white and blue. The teachers were also seen wearing sombreros and brightly colored ponchos. The word “Mexican” was written on a sombrero worn by a woman in the photo. The photos have since been taken down from the school's Facebook page.

Josh Middleton, the superintendent of the Middleton School District, addressed the photos in a Facebook Live on Friday. Middleton confirmed the district was investigating the photos. Middleton said he was informed of the photos after he was contacted by a parent who expressed concern over the costumes.

“I was shown photos and troubled by the decision by our staff members to wear those costumes that are clearly insensitive and inappropriate,” he said. “I want to say we are better than this."

Judging from the picture they might have actually been anti-wall never-Trumpers following their National Education Association platform plankwalk.

But “on the clock” and clearly in the work place...bad move no matter where one stands on the POTUS, immigration, or any other issue.

Wonder what would have happened if they had quoted Cuomo: “America Was Never Great”

This is EXACTLY why we bought a second house in Idaho at the beginning of 2018.

Those teachers were being "INSENSITIVE" to whom?

Are there damned ILLEGALS in that Idaho school? If so, they should all be rounded up, along with their relatives and deported immediately!

Had they dressed as vaginas and worn pussy hats they’d be getting an award.

Political incorrectitude in Idaho? Well, I never. I’m heading straight to the fainting couch.

Well, here’s an idea for conservatives: Get off your fat asses, remove this leftist pig from the schoolboard and take back your public schools.

If you can’t protect your families and children from leftist a-holes, enjoy a gestapo boot in your faces - forever.

Even worse...
“We are better than this.”
“This is not who we are.”
“Diversity is our strength.”

Leftist trite pablum for weak minds and skulls full of mush.

Unfortunately, it is happening in the last bastion of freedom. Democrat signs, parade floats, voter registration booths, and ballot initiatives.

The diversity claim is another lie. Education is our strength, and educational facilities throughout our land should concentrate on education.
