It was superhero day at Northwest Elementary School in Amityville, New York.
Some students dressed up like Superman. Others like Wonder Woman. But a school nurse dressed up like an ICE agent.
The school district released a statement saying that the letters “ICE were offensive and inappropriate.” The teacher has been removed from the classroom and is facing a district investigation.
“The Amityville Union Free School District is aware of an allegation involving a district staff member who affixed an acronym to their clothing that was perceived by some members of the school community as offensive or inappropriate in the educational setting,” “Our top priority is to ensure that our schools remain safe, inclusive, and welcoming spaces for all students and families.”
Parents are enraged and they want the school nurse fired. It turns out that most of the students in the district are minorities.
The head of the Amityville Teacher’s Association condemned the nurse’s costume and said there’s no place for politics in the classroom.

“Why would you come into a setting of learning to make any type of political stance like that,” Nakia Wolfe told the New York Post. “It’s just completely inappropriate.”
It’s an honest-to-goodness Amityville horror story.
It’s a bit strange – seeing how ICE agents truly are pulling dangerous gang gangers, killers and drug traffickers off the streets. They’re fighting for truth, justice and the American way – proving you don’t have to wear a cape and tights to be a hero.
