Teachers and other staffers woking at Middleton Heights Elementary School in Middleton, Idaho are under investigation by the school district after wearing Halloween costumes to class that Superintendent Josh Middleton called "clearly insensitive and inappropriate."

As local station KTVB reports, two since-deleted photos initially posted to the school district's Facebook page depict a group of staffers in the problematic costumes. In one, six people are holding portions of cardboard ostensibly painted to look like a border wall, with text reading "Make America Great Again." In the other, seven staffers wear ponchos, sombreros and fake mustaches.

The superintendent was made aware of the costumes on Thursday evening, when a parent contacted him. On Friday morning, Superintendent Middleton posted a Facebook Live video addressing the incident.

"I was shown those photos and was deeply troubled by the decision by our staff members to wear those costumes that are clearly insensitive and inappropriate," Middleton said. "Our time right now is going to be devoted to investigating those events and those poor decisions that were made.

“Insensitive” to criminals.

No more police costumes.

Good for them. Apologizing for what? Saving America, its laws, its culture and traditions, and its sovereignty?? Works for me.

At least half of all the teachers look like—that is seem to be—Hispanics. All appear to be females which is also not surprising.

Life in America continues, and life in our public schools also continues. But the six in the picture are working to disrupt life in America, and openly and enthusiastically work toward our fall.

Halloween is, by nature, a holiday that’s supposed be FUN. Political Correctness will be the death of it just as it has been the death knell of the usefulness of public schools.

Heaven forbid that publik skoooooool leaders would allow their teachers to act as patriots.

Liberals have “educators”.
Conservatives have “teachers”.

And we all know well how our “eddikators” are doing.
