Butte County Supervisors,
I was also on this field trip with my 28 students. I agree completely with my partner teacher's observation of the display.
Unacceptable and embarrassing are the words that come to mind. Please look into this matter.

Since I loop with his class, Maybe our 5th grade "Legacy" community/school project could be to create a new display,
incorporating the content we learned this year.
