My daughter recently refused to wear her Spanish Fort Hoodie out of the when we asked her why, she spilled the story of tbe video, and confessed that she was ashamed to be from SFHS. I hope through the efforts of students and parents of all ethnicities and walks of life coming together, our children can have a school to be proud of again, and that our students of color and our LGTB students will not be afraid to walk the halls of their own school.

Thanks so much Elizabeth for your efforts to promote unity and respect for one another. The Bible says: This is my commandment: "Love your neighbor as yourself" Mark 12:31. Also, Leviticus 19:18 "You shall not take vengeance nor bear any grudge against the sons of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself, I am the Lord." See also Galations 3:28, Acts 17:26, 1 John 2:11, Acts 10:34-35, Acts 10:28, Proverbs 24:23 As a member of the Spanish Fort Community and a proud parent I condemn any form of discrimination and reject all who choose to condone attitudes, actions, mindsets, or behaviors of hate. I pledge to continue to educate my children in regards to these matters and I will strive to promote equality for all. I accept the apology of the recent offenders. As for the high school students who were involved, they are young and foolish as was I in my youth. We've all done things that we've regretted. In an age where everything you do and say is made public, the exposure can become national and the consequences enormous. Hopefully, the resulting discussions will bring about awareness and unity. God bless Spanish Fort.

This is HORRIBLE... This is something that’s taught, mostly from the home. Something need to be done. #UnityForALL

I’m signing this petition because This is it not the first time that Spanish Fort High School have been informed about racism and swept it under the rug.About 2 or 3 months ago my niece came home complaining about their bus driver. She said that he cursed at them and was calling them the N***ers. She also said that he had the white kids doing the same thing. We didn’t believed her at first, but the very next day we didn’t see the bus but we saw her. She told us that he made all of the black kids from this neighborhood get off the bus and walked. She also said that as he passed them he flipped them off. We was beyond pissed, we tried calling the school, and was told that they will have someone call us back as soon as they was available. NEVER GOT THAT CALL BACK. The next morning her bus showed up after 8am when it gets here at 7:05. We called the school again and reported what happened and the lady told us that they was aware of the problems and they are handling it. When my niece came home she had a different bus driver and we ask her what happen ? She said that she told the principal and they reviewed the tapes from the bus and they couldn’t make out what he was saying or what gestures he was making with his hand.Long story short THIS MAN IS STILL WORKING THERE....
