This school does not value inclusion and diversity. Having your child attend this school may effect the child's moral compass in a poor manor. It is clear that the school district shares the same sentiment by the lack of discourse and action they have not taken. The education of a developing mind has never been a place for negligence to burrow itself. Coming to the defense of staff in light of their distasteful attire shows where Middleton Heights Elementary stands on the topic of diversity. Consider moving out of the district, charter school, or private school if you value your child's education and outlook of other cultures. Close Quote

It is a steaming cauldron of racist teachers. Patticularly offensive to Mexican students. Close Quote

I can't believe that in this day and time we see this kind of racism and political bias. Especially in a elementay school. If a student had attempted to behave in this way, he would have suspended perhaps even expelled
Shame, shame on you. Close Quote
