Fridley High School of Minneapolis, Minn. posted a photo congratulating award-winning students for their accomplishments, However, to the dismay of one student, his statement shirt was edited to show a plain white tee. 

Chris Vazquez took to Twitter questioning why the message from his shirt had disappeared. 

“I don’t recall myself owning a white T shirt,” Vazquez tweeted. “The shirt actually said ‘Deport racists,’ and I would love to know whose decision it was to edit my shirt.”

“FHS claims to be a school that celebrated diversity of opinion, yet censors something expressing an anti-racist viewpoint," he followed up. 

As you can imagine, the tweet went viral with more than 53,000 people wondering when high school administration decided to condone racism. 

By Friday, Fridley High School took to their Twitter account to apologize.

“We sincerely apologize for the miscommunication and frustration that yesterday’s post caused our students. Please read the attached message." The caption reads with a picture of a long explanation. 

"The intent of the edited photo was to make sure the focus remained solely on the scholastic arts awards that our outstanding students have earned," the apology continues. 

The editing of the shirt has caused some people on Twitter to do some editing of their own.

Do you think the school was out of line to edit the shirt? It just seems that being against racism shouldn't be an issue of politics, but then again, this is America.
