Multiple parents have reached out to The Iowa Standard upset with Waukee Northwest High School principal Dr. Fairouz Bishara-Rantisi. Parents have said that Bishara-Rantisi denied requests from students on the student council to have a USA theme day for Homecoming week.

According to one parent, when it was suggested there be a USA day during the week, Bishara-Rantisi said “of course the white girl would suggest a USA day.”

Bishara-Rantisi said the school would not be doing a USA theme day.

The Iowa Standard emailed and called the principal to ask about the dress-up days and let her know what parents have said about the USA day. She has not responded.

We will update the story if we hear back from Bishara-Rantisi.
