Proving that even Halloween isn't immune from the political division our country is Friend's Mother 4 (2025)currently embroiled in, an Idaho school district has issued an apology after it faced stiff backlash to pictures of staffers in pro-Trump, anti-Immigrant costumes for the holiday.

In one photo, several staffers are lined up forming a brick wall with Trump's famous "Make America Great Again" phrase displayed, a reference to Trump's long-promised border wall. Another photo featured several staffers dressed in sombreros, ponchos, and fake exaggerated mustaches, a racist stereotype of Mexicans.

The Idaho Statesman, though, grabbed a capture of the video.

In the video, Middleton says, “Do I think there was a malicious intent in this poor decision? No, I don’t,” he said. “Was there a poor judgment involved?"

He later adds, "We are better than this. We embrace all students. We have a responsibility to teach and reach all students — period.”

While the costumes would be troubling under any circumstances, the kerfuffle comes at a particularly incendiary time as, ahead of the midterm elections, President Trump has suggested trying to use an executive order to overrule protection of birthright citizenships as protected by the 14th Amendment and has ratcheted up anti-immigration fear-mongering over a caravan of migrants heading for the U.S. border.

The controversy also follows a blow-up around Megyn Kelly's complete ineptness when it comes to the racist overtones of white people wearing blackface as part of a costume, proving that even as America creeps toward progress, some people seem hell-bent on staying rooted firmly in our country's racist past.
