What started as an altercation between a teacher and student at Minico High School Monday sparked a full-blown national controversy on Wednesday.
About 50 Minico High students responded to a radio commentator’s call to action and wore Mexican paraphernalia in a silent show of support for Froylan Camelo.
The 16-year-old Latino student has accused a teacher of disrespecting a Mexican flag he brought to school Monday to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, and of making racist comments on other occasions.”*
