Principal defends decision to protect 'immigrant' students
A group of students who may not identify as Americans were able to convince high school officials in Jackson, Wyoming, to kill its annual “America Pride Day.”
Jackson Hole High School’s homecoming tradition was shelved Sept. 30 because some students may have felt “targeted and singled out,” the Jackson Hole News and Guide reported Oct. 1.
The school’s principal, Scott Crisp, told the newspaper the decision was made after seeing results of a student survey.
“Three times as many students indicated that they were not in support of selecting the title ‘America Day,’” Crisp said. “I’m charged with looking at a school with 660 kids, and I have to ensure that all those kids feel part of a student body.”
