The sick George Floyd Valentine’s Day gag in L.A. found legs and went on over to Nevada, where a high school student used a twisted line as a Sadie Hawkins dance invite.
This photo was captured recently on a sports field at Foothill High School in Henderson, NV — not too far outside of Vegas. It depicts what appears to be a female high school student holding up a poster with a request that someone be her date to the Sadie’s dance.
The poster features a hand-written message and a crude drawing of Floyd. The writing reads, “If you went to SADIES w/ me it would take my BREATH away! George Floyd.”
Yeah … nothing subtle about that at all.
The Clark County School District says it’s investigating the matter, and Foothill also posted this message on its site — “Foothill and CCSD will not tolerate racially insensitive behaviors that contradict an inclusive community and impact the school culture of our students.”
This is in the same vein as a Valentine with George Floyd’s photo that was being shared among LAPD officers — which captioned, “You take my breath away.” Someone reported it to higher-ups and it too is now being investigated. LAPD also said it had a zero tolerance for such behavior.
No photos of the alleged Valentine have surfaced, but it’s clear … the “joke” is well-known and cropping up in different formats … among youth and adults who should know better.
