A racist ‘promposal’ spread on social media this week, showing a disconnect between affluent Palos Verdes and the rest of L.A.
Palos Verdes High School's principal visited classrooms on Wednesday, discussing a racially charged incident involving two students. adorned with hearts meant to cement their date to Palos Verdes High School’s upcoming prom — a quintessential teenage event with the dreamy theme “Wish Upon a Star.”
Perched atop a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Palos Verdes Estates is, in many ways, isolated from the rest of Los Angeles. Residents often move to the tony suburban community in search of a good education for their children and a quiet life away from the bustle of city streets surrounding Downtown Los Angeles.
The campus was more empty than usual because some students opted to stay home after threats of a shooting circulated on social media following the promposal photo. Others bustled from their shiny BMWs, Jeeps and Lexuses into the beige single-story campus buildings where Advanced Placement exams were being held.
“At this time, I am asking all teachers and parents in our school community to join me in reminding our students that we live in a society that must respect diversity and tolerance,” Tyner said. “Indeed, this life lesson is critical and is one that school and home must partner to teach.”
