SAN DIEGO
As Coronado school board officials appeal the sanctions levied against Coronado High’s basketball team following the tortilla incident last month, and various community members continue debating it, one group wants to shift the focus toward apologizing to the Escondido community.
Leaders with InclusioNado, a Coronado community organization, gathered outside the Coronado Unified School District headquarters Tuesday morning to hold a press conference and acknowledge the pain the June 19 incident caused Latino residents and others in Escondido.
Marley Ramirez, a member of the group, said it’s more important to acknowledge the pain the incident caused and to find ways to reconciliate with Escondido, than it is to focus on the “cause and intent” of the event.
