Calallen ISD apologizes for racist, political skits during Friday pep rally
Calallen ISD's superintendent apologized for a video that surfaced on social media of a high school pep rally during which students portrayed former President Donald Trump and Jesus Christ while making racist remarks.
The video, captioned "i'm so scared #saveme," has garnered close to 34,000 views and has been shared over 550 times since being posted. It is a screen recording from someone's Snapchat account. That person recorded the pep rally, which took place at Calallen High School's gymnasium.
In the video, a Trump flag is seen, while a student, masquerading as the 45th president, says, "I have to deal with China and the China Virus, A.K.A. the Kung Flu."
At the end of the 30-second video, a student dressed as Jesus Christ takes the microphone and declares, "Jesus Christ is with the Republican Party." Students are seen cheering and applauding during each speech.

and the teachers involved. They had to have someone who oversaw this. Did this guy apologize because it surfaced on social media or because it was basically really, really wrong on so many levels? I believe that once again they apologized because they were caught on social media. My main question is how do people involved in teenage education ever think it's not going to end up on social media?
