Substitute Teacher Fired For Allegedly Telling Student To 'Go Back to Mexico' For Not Reciting Pledge of Allegiance
The incident occurred at Swegle Elementary School in Salem, Oregon, on Tuesday KATU reported. Liliana Ruiz told the news station her son, Steven Zendejas, claimed a substitute teacher told him to "go back to Mexico" for not participating in the Pledge of Allegiance. "That comment that a substitute made to my son is not appreciated for any of my family members or myself," Ruiz told the news station. Ruiz told Yahoo Lifestyle that Steven, who is in the fifth grade, was not trying to express his political views by not reciting the pledge. She says he can sometimes become quiet in class and does not always understand what is right or wrong. The mother told Yahoo Lifestyle her son asked the substitute teacher to use the restroom when he went to the Vice President’s office and reported the incident. Posted by: Besoeker 2019-03-08 |
