  3. Who was Dr. Seuss?

  4. Flyer distributedyesterday:

  5. These images are very hurtful to members of our school community.

  6. RACIST-showing or feeling discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or believing that a particular race is superior to another.

  7. “I want everyone to know that I never intended for my flyer to cause so much confusion and didn’t want to make anyone upset. I just felt like my friends and classmates needed to know the truth. Dr. Seuss did, in fact, create racially insensitive cartoons and seeing them for the first time just a few days ago, on my way back from Florida, had a strong impact on my family and me because of our cultural heritage as African-Americans and the fact that my dad was discriminated against and harassed at his old job because of the color of his skin. Now that he told me about it because of all of this happening, he made it through that situation with the help of friends of all colors, shapes and sizes. It made me think about how my friends at Starpoint help me when I needed to find my way around my new school that I love so much. Like me, my dad had all kinds of friends. That’s why I also want everyone to know that Dr. Seuss changed, became a friend to everyone, and eventually used his writing and stories, like the one that I like called Horton Hears a Who, to try to make the world a better place.” -Trinity Harris Flyer distributedyesterday:
