Some Latino students at McDowell High School are upset after a senior prank in which a few dozen students built a wall made out of boxes blocking access to a common area in the school, according to WLOS.
The students were allowed into the school on Wednesday night to perform the prank with a teacher supervising them.
A photo of the wall with about 30 students standing in front of it was shared on the photo app Instagram and captioned, “We built the wall first.”
Other students shared the photo with the hashtag “#buildthatwall” and “#thewallwillgoup” with an American flag emoji. The student sitting at the front and center of the photo is wearing a “Trump” t-shirt. According to some students, at one point, one of the seniors involved wanted to put a Trump logo on the box wall.
Two Latino students met with the principal on Friday to discuss their concerns over the wall, the photo and what they called some racist comments that followed.
Marta Guardian and Johnny Campos said Principal Edwin Spivey met with them and apologized. They also say he agreed to meet with them again on Monday to discuss ways to try to “repair relationships.”
