KTTH radio reported that the event was called off by an unnamed school staffer \u201cat the last minute.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A student told the station about being informed that the \u201cred, white and blue was going to be seen as racially insensitive and may affect people in a way that we will not understand and for that reason \u2026 we were to change our theme.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The station posted a picture of an email from an associate principal at the school, Darcie Breynaert, which read that she understands the \u201csacrifice and values our flag represents, but I think they [school leadership] just did not want to unintentionally cause offense to some who see it differently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>KTTH reported that principal Chris Bede and the district\u2019s communications director werre not specific about who exactly would be offended by seeing people dressed in red, white and blue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince it was not a home game, there was no opportunity to have an announcement about Patriots Day and to share why students were dressed in red, white and blue,\u201d Communications Director Shannon Parthemer told KTTH.<\/p>\n<p>The station reported that the principal seemed to be taken \u201cby surprise\u201d about the decision to call off the theme. It was Parthemer who told KTTH that the decision was made by one unnamed staff member.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Washington state high school is scrambling to explain how one staff member was able to call off an entire event honoring the massive, world-changing terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-751536","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/751536","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=751536"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/751536\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=751536"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=751536"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=751536"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
