"James Thomas, an attorney for the school district, said yesterday that one of the signs was placed ......near the locker......... of an Arab-American student and that the signs were inappropriate."
It depends on what "is: is. The schools lawyer said the sign was placed next to an Arab-American locker.
So what does "is" mean? Maybe they just happened to be side by side!!!Maybe the kids lockers just happened to be in the same school!!!!!
Perhaps, we need separate libraries for all these kids who are "at risk?"
