School Officials Apologize Over Racist Comic in Newsletter [View all]
A Pleasant Hill school secretary reminded us today why it is so very important to proofread before hitting send. The substitute secretary accidentally sent out this racist cartoon below (credit goes to claycord.com) along with the school newsletter, somehow mistaking the offensive image for a harmless comic.
Of course, it hasn't gone over well in Contra Costa County.
​ According to the Contra Costa Times, the Sequoia Middle School newsletter was sent out last week showing Franklin, the African American Peanuts character, with a noose around his neck. Below the image, it reads "white pride."
