A Buena Park High School staff member who allegedly used charged language on social media to advocate burning the Mexican flag and deporting undocumented immigrants was placed on administrative leave following a student demonstration against those comments.
s do not reflect the views of the Fullerton Joint Union High School District or Buena Park High School, Superintendent Steve McLaughlin said in a statement released Friday, Feb. 7.
“FJUHSD is a district built on respect, inclusivity, and a deep commitment to ensuring every student, family, and staff member feels safe, valued, and supported,” McLaughlin said, adding that the matter is under investigation.
“Overall, I want to emphasize that the safety and well-being of our students remain our top priority—not just at BPHS, but across all of our unique and thriving school communities.”
The district did not identify the staff member by name or say if that person works as a teacher. The district also did not say when the posts were made, and it’s unclear from viewing them how long they’ve been online.
Allegedly, the staff member used social media to display an image of Mexico’s flag along with the comment: “If y’all have flags I will burn them for you! This is America. They are deporting criminals.” s, on Instagram and Facebook, also contain a link to Buena Park High School’s Instagram account.
In another post, with the hashtag “staffprobablyhatedme, the staff member commented on their attire, which included a green “Trump 2024” shirt and a red “Make America Great Again” ball cap.
“So all month long when I work this how it will look,” the post reads.
“People need to wake up and realize when Trump was president things were a lot better. If you don’t like it leave and if you are here illegally here you will be leaving shortly anywho! Adios! if you are offended by what I say than (sp) you are the problem! #trump #trump #trump.”
The staff member could not be reached for comment.
s sparked a raucous protest Friday by at least a dozen Buena Park High School students who shouted, held posters and waived Mexican flags at motorists driving on Magnolia Avenue.
The Fullerton Joint Union High School District assigned additional staff Friday to Buena Park High School and will do so again when classes resume Tuesday for those who would like to discuss the incident.
