Punish Coach Yates for Allowing Kid to Scream Racial Slurs to Opposing Team at LHHS Game


Punish Coach Yates for Allowing Kid to Scream Racial Slurs to Opposing Team at LHHS Game
The Issue
Hi! I am a student at LHHS. Most of you at this point have seen the video of a student at LHHS screaming racial slurs at a student who goes to Portola High. The student has been punished but the coaches and staff are not experiencing any sort of punishment or backlash by LHHS. Coach Yates, who is the basketball coach at Laguna Hills High School was there that night. He sat idly by and continued to let this kid sit comfortably in the stands and scream racist slurs at someone of the competing team. It’s disgusting that he allowed this. He should be punished and possibly fired. Multiple students AND faculty agree with these statements. Racism and bullying is NEVER okay and should be put to an end. Being a bystander shouldn’t mean sitting idly by watching things happen, as a teacher you should stand up and make sure things such as these get put to an end. And he didn’t. And it’s disgusting he watched this happen.
