In a light-hearted yet controversial twist, a group of students at Maple Grove High School in Marion, North Carolina, constructed a makeshift wall using cardboard boxes, effectively barricading access to a common area on campus. This event, which occurred earlier this week, was supervised by a teacher who allowed the students to carry out their prank in a controlled environment.
A photo capturing the scene made its way onto the Instagram account Students4Trump, accompanied by the caption: “Maple Grove High School students earn the title for coolest #studentsfortrump senior prank. THEY BUILT A WALL!!” The wall was dismantled the following morning before classes resumed, and the students involved will not face any disciplinary measures. Interestingly, the school administration had prohibited the placement of a Trump sticker on the wall, which was part of the original plan.
Brian Oliver, a school administrator, stated, “From what I saw in the photo and what transpired, there was nothing offensive at the moment. The concern arose from the social media reactions afterwards, which we cannot control as they occurred outside of school hours and networks.” However, many critics argue that this response is inadequate, especially since the activity was teacher-supervised.
The comments on the photo reflected a troubling trend known as the “Trump effect,” showcasing harsh exchanges among students. This behavior has had a detrimental impact on Latino students, as expressed by Sofia Morales, a student who tearfully shared, “It’s truly painful for many of us. People often don’t understand the struggles we face. Some are fortunate to have much, while others are not.”
Sofia continued, “I’m proud of my heritage. I embrace being a Mexican-American. I was born and raised here, but I cherish my roots… We all come from diverse backgrounds.”
