Robertsdale High School student holds anti-Hispanic sign (Twitter)


An Alabama high school student apologized over the weekend after a photo went viral of her holding what appeared to be a racist anti-Hispanic sign at a pep rally.

WALA reported that an unnamed Robertsdale High School student was photographed holding a sign that says, “Put The Panic Back In Hispanic.” In the same photo, another student is holding a large sign, reading, “Trump: Make America Great Again.”

After the photo went viral, current and former Robertsdale students expressed outrage on social media.
