School Considers Fixing Racially-Tinged Yearbooks

COVINA (AP) ― A high school in Covina is considering reprinting yearbook pages that included offensive phony names for members of the Black Student Union.

Charter Oak High School Principal Kathleen Wiard said Friday that she is working with the publisher to replace all pages in the 2008 Chronicle that have incorrect names.

The yearbook handed out earlier this month carried names such as "Tay Tay Shaniqua" and "Crisphy Nanos" for nine Black Student Union members. The principal says students put phony names in the yearbook proofs and failed to correct them before printing.

Some students -- and parents -- were offended and demanded the books be reprinted.

The school distributed 2,000 copies of the yearbook.

Wiard says the incident is under investigation.
