The staff at this school(Mort) is sexual bias and racist!!!They are sexual bias towards black men and yes I am a female telling you this. Seen it first hand. As long as black men r involved (He had to do it) seems to be this schools MO. Not just that, but the staff dress's to sexually provocative for a school! So it's no surprise to me when the kids dress the same way!! Mort has a dress code but no one reinforces it. Why when I go to pick up my child why do I see school employee's dress like that?
