Students at a Chicago high school held a sit-in Wednesday after a teacher allegedly told a Latino student to 'go back to your country” when she and others declined to stand for the national anthem.
NBC News reached out to Beck for an interview Thursday but did not immediately hear back.
She said one of the teachers then asked another senior if she was eligible for free or reduced lunch. After that student said"yes," the teacher said she should stand because people had died for this country. After that student left the auditorium, Salazar said the teacher asked her if her legs were broken. She said"no," and began to explain why she was sitting, Salazar said.
Chicago Public Schools told NBC News in a statement that it is"committed to fostering learning environments that embrace and support all students, and the alleged actions of the teacher in question run counter to our beliefs and priorities as a school district." But Chicago police said a 15-year-old girl was arrested at the sit-in Wednesday and charged with battery after officers broke up a fight between two female students. The girl allegedly pushed a 55-year-old man, causing him to fall, police said., 25.8 percent of the student body is black, 42.3 percent Latino, 11.2 percent white and 17.5 percent Asian.
