Controversial cartoon appears in school's newspaper April 19, 2005, 10:38 AM
OREGON CITY -- Students and parents will discuss a controversial cartoon later today at Oregon City High School. It appeared in the school's newspaper.
The student-drawn cartoon shows two men wearing Minutemen volunteer T-shirts... Depicting the recent volunteer border patrol enacted in Arizona. One cartoon says, "let's go get us some Mexicans." The other says, "remember, women and children are only worth two points."
Several students took the paper home and complained to their parents. A teacher advisor and two student editors approved the cartoon for the paper.
School administrators have apologized to the students saying "it was not meant to encourage racism or discrimination in any way. As a staff, we are working to correct and heal the damage that has occurred."
Stupid Mexicans pitched a living fit over it. Said it was anti-immigrant. Meantime, the intent of the cartoon was to sling mud at the Minutemen. One ignorant little wench stood up and admitted that her parents are here illegally. I'm trying to find out her name so I can give the INS a call.
