" Just ridiculous ," Alabama Reporter's Josh Moon wrote on Twitter." Robertsdale High.' Made the terror back in Hispanic .' The abhor is surely filtering down to the adolescents ."
Many agreed with Moon, announcing the signs racially insensitive. Some even pointed out that Robertsdale High School has a sizable Latinx student body, acquiring the signs hostile toward a marginalized radical within the school.
This school has a lot of hispanic students. So poignant and embarrassing.

The family attorney for the teen deeming the" Made the' Panic' Back in Hispanic" rendered local station WKRG an defense symbol written by the student, which was originally intended for the Robertsdale school board. The teenage writes that her ratify was intended to make fun of the Spanish Fort Toros, who toy against the Bears on Friday.
" I do apologize for procreating our school look bad and I do understand any consequences I must face ," the teen wrote." But I also believe in my title of lecture. I did not intend it in any sort of racial highway, half of their own families are Hispanic. Thank you for your time predicting this, I apologize for all the publicity and disagreements this has brought to our clas ."
But sometimes there skeptical, as its pairing with the mansion promoting Trump--who has reached egregious observes about the Mexican " rapists" and undocumented citizens--makes no gumption unless it's targeting Latinx citizens.
If the excuse for Hispanic sign is that they were Playing Spanish Fort, what's the excuse for the political signal?

Of course in her pretext she said that she's not prejudiced because "half her family is Hispanic". Which doesn't signify she LIKES them, btw.

The Baldwin County School District is aware of the photo and is "following up on the matter," although it remains unclear if the two boys will be reprimanded.
