Lewiston-Porter CSD Responds to Racist Material Distributed to Community
Recently our school district community has been the target of a vile, defamatory and racist flyer
that targets our school and the students and families we serve.
The flyer was brought to the attention of administration and the immediate response was one of
disgust and condemnation. As a school district that stresses the importance of acceptance and
tolerance and celebrates and embraces diversity, this material sickens us.
We have been in contact with our school attorney, the District Attorney and law enforcement and
should we discover the author of this filth, we will seek damages to the fullest extent of the
law. Lewiston-Porter School District will not tolerate racism of any shape or form.
While we wish that in this day and age that we would not have to address such a vile issue, it is
clear that this ugliness is still prevalent not only in our community, but across our country. We
are appreciative of the people who have reached out to us to share their thoughts and concerns.
We want to assure you that this hatred will not be tolerated at our district. We will continue to
foster a climate of respect, acceptance and inclusion for all and we will not stand for this. Be
assured that as a district and a community that we will accept this challenge and hopefully come
out stronger in the end.
