An East Bay high school cheer team came under fire after the squad was photographed posing with a Black mannequin head.
Photos posted to social media showed members of California High School's varsity cheer team smiling next to a dark-skinned mannequin head they allegedly referred to as their mascot named "Kareem." The San Ramon Valley Unified School District said it became aware of the matter on Saturday and admitted the images were troubling and has had a "hurtful racist impact." School District Superintendent Dr. John Malloy said, "The mascot, which is a dark-skinned head that would be used in a cosmetology class, is intolerable for its offensive and racist implications."
The school district said the "hateful and hurtful image" does not embody does not represent the values of San Ramon Valley Unified School District.Offers from FOX Television stations and our advertisers
Let me guess 🤔 . Someone’s offended AGAIN 😂
Whoa
How is this still something that regularly happens? How are people in this country, especially people in CA, okay with being this blatantly racist?
My question is what is the school going to do to punish the cheer squad? I’m so offended by what these kids have done and what are the parents teaching these kids ? Are they being taught to be racist? Do they think what they did is ok ? Unf**king believeable
Interesting how folks will delete you cuz you don’t fit their narrative. Telling me ur Black and wanting to wash away bad ignorant behavior doesn’t cut it for me. I’m Black 2. Lessons to be learned. Hope these girls will learn one since their parents didn’t teach them.
This is 2022. We must include mannequins of all races and genders. Perhaps this was a white mannequin that identifies as a black mannequin? Actually.....it's all kinda funny so lighten up people!
And school officials, coaches, parents just became aware of 'Kareem' recently..come on...it's only now because they got caught and called out that the district is 'outraged!'
Who allowed this nonsense?
If they keep up the divisional racial talk, they can fan the flames of hate they need to control the narrative. We are smarter than that as a society!
Parents must be very happy
Pure Ignorance!! SanRamonHS do better!! WERSR
San Ramon you guys have to do better. Blatantly disrespectful 106KMEL clownsoftheday
WTF
DANVILLECA?
how is this racist?
Well never see a news story about anything positive. Just race race race. These kids wouldn't be in the news without it. They can work in a soup kitchen the next day but we won't remember them for it. Next peta shows up over grizzly bears
Just down the road from “white lives matter” types in Danville.
Unnecessary
This is so racist against mannequins!
Figures. This sort of thing is RAMPANT in the Tri-Valley area.
Did anyone think to ask the cheerleaders what’s the story is before writing the article?
Lot of the kids in that area was raised to be racist.
You get the name of the high school, and the city it's in, if you read the linked news story.
TIL there’s a high school called California high school. There’s gotta be more to this name than pure laziness
I thought San Ramon would be a nice place to raise my kids. I was wrong.
We don’t get the name of the high school because of the cheerleaders race. Insane! WhitePrivilege
