The shirts were given out after a DARE “graduation.”
reported Feb. 11 that Christina Moore, the principal of Robert Semple Elementary School in Benicia, sent an email to parents earlier in the week apologizing for the shirts.
“I want you to know I am aware, recognize and understand fully that there were some shared feelings around the shirts given out to the 5th grade students,” Moore wrote, according to the Vallejo Sun. “I want you to know how sorry I am if this caused you or your family any unsettled feelings.” “Because graduations were put on hold with the pandemic we’ve had these T-shirts in storage since we purchased them,” Greene said in an email to the news publication. “At that time, the thin blue line design had a much different meaning.”
