An elementary school in South Carolina is facing backlash after pictures of staff in “Border Patrol” T-shirts surfaced on the district’s Facebook page.
The Royall Elementary School staff who were featured in the photos have since been fired or placed on administrative leave, according to a letter sent out by Florence 1 Schools Superintendent Dr. Richard O’Malley.
Florence 1 Schools posted the images, which have since been taken down, with two staff members wearing gray “Border Patrol” T-shirts during a Hispanic heritage celebration event held on Wednesday.
Another image posted on the school’s social media page showed staff members wearing sombreros and other attire and standing in front of a red brick wall with a “Royall Cantina” sign.
