DALLAS — Crude anti-immigrant signs that were placed outside a Texas elementary school Saturday sparked outrage among parents and local officials.
Neighbors found the four signs at Foster Elementary School in Dallas, according to KDFW. The signs included a Spanish slur for undocumented immigrants. Foster Elementary School has a large Hispanic population.
The school's principal asked for increased police patrols around the school. Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings called the signs "disgraceful."
Disgraceful. I stand with you against this hate speech, @SolisforDISD. Out of town, but w/you in spirit tomorrow. -MR https://t.co/abHikagV4Q

The offensive signs were replaced with messages of support from the community.
