ANAHEIM HILLS Canyon High School will eliminate "Señiores and Señoritas Day," an event where students were encouraged to don Latino-themed attire, after several students this spring arrived to campus dressed as gang members, gardeners, border patrol agents and pregnant teens.
Orange Unified officials have announced they will also require the school's administrators and staff to take sensitivity training, and vow to better review student activities to ensure they aren't culturally insensitive.
These actions follow a district investigation into a complaint from a former student who called the "Señiores and Señoritas Day" racist and offensive to Latino students and their families. "It was determined some students dressed in stereotypical fashion which was not appropriate, and that the actions of these students were demeaning," Orange Unified Superintendent Michael Christensen said Thursday in a written statement. "The district is committed to working with staff and students of Canyon High School to ensure a positive school climate and culture in all school activities."
Canyon High held "Señiores and Señoritas Day" June 6 as part of the school's senior activity week. One boy dressed as a gardener, while another boy dressed as a pregnant girl pushing a baby stroller. Others dressed as gang members with bandanas and teardrop tattoo replicas. Some students wore plaid Pendleton shirts, ponchos, large sombreros and mustaches. A few students dressed as INS agents, walking around the campus "arresting Mexican students."
Several students chronicled the event through Facebook photos and postings. Students have described that those wearing the costumes came from different races and backgrounds.
"Señores and Señoritas Day" has been part of Senior Week for the past three years. The district began investigating in June after former student Jared Garcia-Kessler filed a complaint.

I admit.....I laughed.
Kid’s are starting to see through the bullcr*p and the school system (and Marxist culture) that tries to put everyone in a box—identity politics===to create factions and disunity (and hatred for the “others”.
We used to emphasize the American Spirit-—American heroes, the most perfect political documents ever written-—the Declaration and Constitution and Federalist papers-—and everyone UNDERSTOOD the meaning and intent of those documents.
Now kids aren’t even given knowledge of the geniuses of the past-—they read the irrational creepy thinking and art of degenerates who can’t hold a candle to the minds of the past-—esp. dead white males. Hmmmmmm, wonder WHY Marxists disparage the dead white males——BF Skinner psychology—to make kids “FEEL” bad if they are interested in such *racists* and *bigots* and *sexists*. As if all other cultures were “BETTER”. HA—there’s an idea for you and why ALL other cultures RAN and DIED trying to get HERE!!!! the land designed by a bunch of dead white males.
Why do you think the Marxist school system is trying to divide the kids instead of unite them under the American Flag and American Ideals-—far superior than any other culture because of God-Given Rights. We better put God BACK into the schools so we can teach the children WHERE their rights come from, so they don’t get the idea it comes from government (which is what these Godless schools are brainwashing kids to believe) .
I’m still snickering (snort, snort) giggle ....
Isn't that where the whole high school expression "That's so gay" came from? 2% of the population takes over a word to run away from the words that already define them and find out the new words don't work any better.
A sad part of the Obama back-door Dream Act conniving is that all brown people with a spanish accent will now become suspect. When do they become special victims?
“We’d better put God BACK in the schools so we can teach children WHERE their rights come from..’’ Amen. Chasing God out of the classroom sure didn’t usher in the Age of Reason.
The real “victims” are always the minorities and poor—the programs end up making them dependent, and, psychological cripples; they believe that they are incapable of striving or getting things by merit and Virtue and competing. They end up not appreciating what they get—because they didn’t earn it.
“Gays” do degenerate things and older kids didn’t “fall” for it, until after the “Glee” agitprop and decades of Will and Grace.
It was always hard to teach kids that playing with fecal material was “good”. But now Jerry Brown has homosexuals teaching the Kindergarten kids about anal sex—and Heather has two Mommies-—and these children are too young to understand the absurd evil that the teachers are teaching-—and they will believe all the brainwashing, so they will form a homosexual worldview-—like the little sodomized boys in Afghanistan, that our troops are forced to “ignore” or like the Ancient Greeks and Romans, Samurai or SA Nazi Brownshirts——all homosexuals who used the boys for recreation and women were second class breeders.
Homosexual societies are extremely sexist and hateful and brutal-—because of the debasing of one’s body and that of others in such dysfunctional, filthy ways tends to make one particularly brutal.

Talk about insensitivity, they can’t even spell the guys term correctly. There is no “i” in the word.
It was God (Christianity) which made The Age of Reason possible. Since the skeptic ideology (German Postmodernists/Marx) became the norm in Europe in the late 1800’s—they have tried to infect this nation with their anti-Christian Godlessness.
If they succeed-—we will be toast.
Enough IS enough peckerhead! We can't even bring U. S. Flags to school, and you think you've got it bad?
It goes both ways ace, and we've had enough too. You can take that to the Matriculation Counselar's office.
“It was demeaning to my culture”
It’s sad that demeaning white christian Western culture is the thing to do in America now.

While I was quoted correctly, the reporter failed to mention that I am a Mexican woman who is proud of my heritage and I was not offended by this senior activity in any way, nor were my children. The costumes that some of the kids wore were may have been a little over the top but it was all in fun and there wasn't any racism or hate implied. They are teenagers having fun celebrating their last week of high school and I am saddened that my daughter will not be able to participate in this activity because the school is now so worried about being politically correct that they have forgotten what it's like to be young, fearless, and fun.
” they have forgotten what it’s like to be young, fearless, and fun. “
Not forgotten - it’s the antithesis of the Liberal Ideal Sheeple — ‘Infantile, terrified, and victimized’....
I almost fell out of my chair laughing at this one. I wondered how many showed up with leaf blowers.
It’s getting to the point where no one is telling the truth but the stand up comics.
“and amigos forever we’ll be!”
What incredible wisdom!
