Why has the schools teachers and administrators along with the schools board not raised this issue among themselves? What is the makeup of your students and what is the make up of your faculty and administrators? Can you not see how these type of images might be offensive, even if they have played a role in your schools history. Lets create a new multi cultural mural.

This entire nation was stolen from the original habitants, forced to relinquish lands, culture language in the name of the church. Priests turned people, young people into slaves.

Secretary [Signature #57] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4792680?utm_medium=rss It's deplorable that slavery of California Indians has been so institutionalized that the community has been completely desensitized by such an obviously racist depiction. Education and sensitivity training are in order here. The litmus test is this: If the same mural showed a White slave owner with Black slaves in the same context there is no doubt the local NAACP would have seen to its removal forty years ago. Such injustice bestows no honor to any people by any stretch of the imagination.
