Norwin superintendent reaches out to parents following Confederate clothing incident – By Joe Napsha (Tribe Live) / Oct 13 2021
Norwin’s top administrator reached out to parents in the school district via email Wednesday, days after two students wore racially insensitive clothing to class.
“These images are offensive to many within the Norwin community,” Superintendent Jeff Taylor wrote in the emailed statement. “This situation … (is a) learning opportunity to reinforce our district’s commitment to a safe, healthy, and positive learning environment.”
Students were encouraged by the district to wear red, white and blue clothing Monday as part of ’Merica Day during homecoming week.
But photos of two high school boys — one wearing a shirt in a red, white and blue Confederate flag pattern and the other wearing shorts in a similar pattern — circulated on social media Monday and received significant media attention.
