POSTER FROM ESTANCIA HIGH SCHOOL

The Mr. Flores named on this poster is Joel Flores, a Language Arts teacher at Estancia High School. LINK

You may have seen  Mr. Flores in the Repair Costa Mesa TV commercial [HERE @ 12 second mark].

Mr. Flores, you may recall, got into some sort of verbal altercation with Councilman Steve Mensinger recently.

After the story of the altercation hit the newspapers and blogs, some parents of students apparently wanted to know exactly what was being taught at Estancia.

In an apparent attempt to answer those parents, the Daily Pilot then ran an article on May 2, [HERE] in which Estancia Princpal Kirk Bauermeister was reported to have said that Flores kept his political beliefs out of the classroom.

However, on May 4, the PILOT issued a correction [HERE] and said that  Principal Bauermeister did not say that Flores kept his political beliefs out of the classroom.

So, given the PILOT's correction, many parents are probably wondering if Flores does keep his political beliefs out of the classroom or not.

Here's a notice that is now appearing on the Estancia High School website [HERE] that mentions Mr. Flores and room 250, again.

Answer Club Day of Silence– To commemorate Thursday’s Day of Silence the Answer Club is showing movies about LGBT rights today at lunch in Mr. Flores’ classroom (room. 250). Estancia’s Day of Silence is Thursday, April 28 to remember those we have lost.

If Mr. Flores or Mr. Bauermeister want to comment, they are welcome to do so. We may even feature their comments up here on the main page as well as in comments down below. We're sure parents would like to know more about what's going on in our schools.
