I guess this kind of thing is to be expected at Robert E. Lee High School
STAUNTON - People are taking to social media to react to costumes worn by two employees of Robert E. Lee High School for Halloween.
Principal Mark Rowicki dressed as Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, complete with a shock of trademark hair and a "Make American Great Again" hat. School secretary Stephanie Corbett dressed as Hillary Clinton, but rather than looking like a candidate on the campaign trail she was wearing an orange jumpsuit and a "Department of Justice" name tag that reads "Hillary R. Clinton." Together, they appeared on a photograph that was posted to the school website as part of a gallery that mostly includes students in costume. In an uncropped version of the photo that appears on social media, the Clinton character is wearing a chain around her waist. The photo disappeared from the site about 1 p.m. Wednesday. It was not clear who took the photo.
A Lee High graduate who is a mom of two girls, Emberly Lynn Martin, was upset about the choice of costumes. She posted the photo on her Facebook page.
"You are professionals, who work with children. Some more impressionable then others. The fact that any school official would think its okay to dress like this leaves me appalled and floored," Martin said in her post. "What message are you sending to any of them when their high school principal dresses up like a man who wants to deport them, says things like 'she's a nasty woman,' or 'grab em by the p----?'"
