Eyewitness News has obtained an email where the administration stated in writing that students of only certain races were eligible to attend.
It specifically said only students of certain races were allowed out of their advanced opportunity program.
We are now hearing from students who say the whole event just seemed odd.
“I didn’t think too much of it at the moment and then I got home and said that was weird,” said Andrea Torres.
She says it was awkward after only some students were invited to an assembly based on their race. Invited students could skip one of their classes to attend the event while other students stayed behind.
Torres says they received a lecture in the event.
