cartoon in the La Jolla High School newspaper that depicts several racist stereotypes has raised concerns from parents, students, and community leaders.
On Tuesday, Feb. 13, a group representing the Barrio Logan College Institute (BLCI) filed a complaint with the San Diego Unified School District Board of Trustees and provided recommendations about dealing with diversity-related topics after the racist cartoon appeared in a school newspaper.
The action being undertaken by BLCI members comes after the student newspaper at La Jolla High School, on Jan. 23, published a cartoon featuring characters with greatly-exaggerated ethnic traits wearing sweatshirts bearing messages related to racial stereotypes.
