MARYSVILLE, Wash. (AP) - Some students wore T-shirts supporting the gunman to a memorial remembering the teens who died in an October shooting at Marysville Pilchuck High School.
School officials say each of the students who wore “Team Jaylen” T-shirts to the student-planned and student-led assembly was talked to individually about the inappropriateness of their attire and asked to remove them.
Jodi Runyon of the Marysville School District says both students and adults at the April 24 event complained to the school’s administration about the shirts.
Leaders of the Tulalip Tribes, to which both the shooter and his victims belonged, are calling on the school district to ban all T-shirts and other items that support Jaylen Fryberg and the actions he took on Oct. 24.
Runyon says the tribe and the district are working together to address this issue.
