More yearbook news
News of Charter Oak High School Yearbook replacing Black Student Union member names with fake names such as "Tay Tay Shaniqua," "Crisphy Nanos" and "Laquan White" has spread all over the country.
Local leaders are starting to get involved.
President of the Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable Earl Ofari Hutchinson sent a letter to the school board president demanding an apology.
School officials still have not determined a solution but plan on meeting with BSU parents and students.
This is really outrageous. The school should foot the bill to reprint these and attempt to redistribute.
Wow.
This is so unfortunate! This incident has caused alot of unnecessary stress, angry, and physical pain. One student was misquoted in the first article having some to believe there's a racial issue on the Charter Oak campus (and there's not). I feel for the that young lady and her family right now.
The school should do everything in their power to resolve this matter with these families and move on. Did it happen, yes! Was it initially handled poorly, yes! Has this incident caused pain, stress, and embarrassment, yes! Deal with it quickly and learn from it.
Regardless of what we think everyone is entitled to fair treatment.
The media keeps profiling these students in the paper, this is just a reminder. I hope parents gave the school authorization to release their child's picture ......
