School Cancels Events Found To Be Demeaning to Latinos

"Seniores" and "Señoritas" events held at an Anaheim high school in which students dressed as gang members and a pregnant woman pushing a baby stroller have been canceled after officials concluded the activities were demeaning toward Latinos and their culture.
The events, which have been held for at least three years at Canyon High School, took place during senior activity week in June and were approved by campus administrators, according to school district officials.
The event was canceled after the Orange Unified School District launched an internal investigation in June in response to two complaints filed by former students.
"I conclude there was a lack of oversight/supervision and that the school administration should not have allowed this activity," Aileen M. Sterling, executive director of secondary education for the district, wrote in an Aug. 10 letter summarizing her inquiry.

I can't believe somebody came up with this to begin with. Let alone go on for 3 damn years.
