Parents have raised concerns regarding racist taunts aimed at players during recent high school baseball games involving Pinole Valley High School, which they claim were inadequately addressed by the overseeing district. Incidents of racism and homophobia were reported, with video evidence showing players hurling verbal taunts at Asian athletes. Parents Eugene Lee and Anatalio Ubalde expressed their frustration with the district’s response, highlighting a lack of accountability. The principal of Pinole Valley High has since issued an apology, and some coaching staff have faced suspension pending further investigation.
The anger I have from all of this is not the boys. It's not even the coach... It's the complete lack of an effective response from the district.
Pinole Valley principal Todd Irving sent a formal letter of apology to Albany High, acknowledging the unacceptable conduct.
Requests for comment from Superintendent Dr. Kim Moses of the West Contra Costa Unified School District were not returned.
Pinole Valley baseball coach T'won Blake told ABC7 news that the district suspended him and an assistant coach.
